The word “American” has come to mean “Inhabitant of the United States of America.” You should use “North American” instead if you want to include both Americans and Canadians.

My main reasoning behind having a buffer of gasoline stored (I rotate through it, no need for stabilizer) is so that if something absolutely catastrophic happens I can make it to a relative’s farm without having to stop for gas along the way. It also happens to be handy for the less-catastrophic-but-still-annoying situation we might be facing now, of a sudden fuel price spike.

One of those times it’s nice to be a prepper, even if only on a relatively small scale. I bought a couple of months’ worth of gasoline last week.

That would require an ever-increasing amount of forested land. A carbon pyramid scheme. As soon as you stop increasing the forest’s area it goes back to an equilibrium of trees decaying equalling trees growing.

And the rest of them just stay frozen upright forever, I suppose.

The world isn’t short of water. I’d be more concerned about phosphorus and other such mineral nutrients, those would get pulled out of the soil and then not returned.

Frankly, I think the best approach to sequestration is to make plastic and bury it. Plastic has a much more controllable chemical structure, you can be sure to only get carbon that way.

You think trees don’t die and fall down on their own?

And even if you did do that, where would you store the wood afterwards? You can’t let it decay, that’d just put the carbon back into the atmosphere.
