God did I think long and hard about doing this video. In the end, I simply had to do it though. I simply couldn’t stand by while people were saying planting 20 million trees would make a massive difference….. most popular youtubers on a ‘giant feel good charity operation’ or not…. sadly, its still BS! Better than nothing? sure, but just like holding your breath on a sinking ship is better than nothing.

The simple maths is you need would need to plant about 20 million trees, twice per day EVERY SINGLE DAY, just to offset the US daily carbon dioxide footprint.

All this while global warming is already laying waste to great ecosystems. Telling people that planting 20 million trees will make a massive difference, is simply selling them a comfortable delusion. Hell, just on what I’ve seen with my bare eyes, I’ve seen devastated forests from Wyoming all the way down to Colorado. In Colorado alone there are over 800 million dead trees due to global warming.

While the token action of the you-tubers come from a good place, your absolutely correct in that it is less than a drop of water on a hot plate. It’s not going to change anything by itself. And runs the risk of making people feel like there actually doing something while in the end all it is is a token gesture. Thnx for making this vid Thunderf00t it confirmed a suspicion I had about this action.

Absolutely Thank You Thunderf00t!!!! I was completely shocked 😳 at the astronomical insignificance of what planting 20 million trees 🌲 would actually mean vs the CO2 and global warming trends!!! It’s unbelievable how statistically insignificant their whole project is in the grand scheme of life and global warming and the eventual disastrous rebalancing that our planet 🌎 is gonna go through to get all of our burned oil back into the damn ground again!!!!

What is the orange glowing ball in a tube with that vapor cloud??? Is that part of your research grants that you have requested???

Many of the folks participating in the 20 million tree project seem to be curious and open minded. I think you struck a good tone in your analysis, and it deserves a good faith response. Hopefully we'll get some good ones!

To be fair, I don't think they ever claimed that the whole planting 20M trees thing would magically fix climate change. Yes, it is insignificant in effect, but it's also not a bad thing to do anyway.
