World Leaders should have to Say Whether They will Support this

   I find myself wishing the media would take a recent climate-change solution to President Trump and other world leaders and ask them if they are going to do this.
   Say, we posed this question to our president: "The study suggests this would do as much to to curb climate change as just about anything. Planting new trees everywhere -- maybe a trillion world-wide -- might counter two-thirds of the carbon monoxide emitted since the dawn of the industrial revolution. President Trump, do you endorse this action? Will you be calling for trees to be planted in every available space?"
   Ask congressional leaders if they endorse the plan. Ask world leaders. Ask the president.
  After all, if there is a suggestion that could seriously curtain global warming, shouldn't the world be considering it? Shouldn't our leaders be asked whether they will give it any heed?
   Here's a quote from a news story, from Thomas Crowther, a co-author of the study: "The point is that (reforestation is) so much more vastly powerful than anyone ever expected. By far, it is the top climate change solution in terms of carbon storage potential."
