The Kyoto protocol considered cut tree carbon to be released back into the atmosphere.

There is plenty of land that used to have trees, but we now have 7 billion humans and their associated support organisms. https://xkcd.com/1338/

We can get more efficient with our land use, though the benefit would likely be a more stabilized ecosystem rather than reversing climate carbon.




This xkcd comic is based in poor data, probably. Rats and domestic mice don't appear on it. Cats and dogs should appear also (and be in a big group). I would take it with a pinch of salt.
