With all the talk about reducing carbon emissions no solutions or pending technologies talk about trying to develop a tree that could grow rapidly that could be used capture the carbon in itself. I think if we crossed like a dandelion with a tree like a cottonwood they would grow quicker and possibly grow in harsher soils. Genetically alter a argan tree so it grows taller or cross them with quaking aspens so they and spread about more in sandy regions allowing more plants to possibly take root and accelerate Africa’s attempt to create a green wall to keep the Sahara from advancing south.

GMO trees are genetically modified organisms. This means that their DNA has been artificially altered in a laboratory. The most common modification is to make the tree grow faster. Other modifications include making the tree more resistant to pests and diseases, or changing the tree’s leaves so that they are a different color.
