Can this be true? Sometimes I despair that our fellow Welsh residents voted for the current shower in Cardiff Bay. It will only get worse with the expanded number of woke spongers.

This isn't my area of expertise so I may well be wrong but my understaing is trees planted near the equator are far more effective at capturing carbon that they would be in wales.
Here's a two minute explanation, I hold an Environmental Biology degree and spent 10 years working the discipline so have an understanding if a bit out of date! As a very, very rough rule of thumb temperate forests store about 3 times the amount of carbon as a tropical forest.
In terms of biodiversity, some quick research will reveal the problem we have in the UK. The simplest example I use is that of driving late into a summer evening. 30 years ago car windscreens would be plastered with insects after a late evening drive., now very little accumulates in the same circumstances. Why does this matter, insects are the powerhouse in most ecosystems as pollinators and as a vital part of the food chain.

I get that we obviously don't want deforestation but every thing I've read points to get speedy and effective carbon capture you need to plant between the Tropics.

There's an argument for doing both, the scientific fact is that temperate forests hold more carbon simply by measuring the biomass. There is a big business selling corporations tropical planting, that's the cheaper short term solution for corporations in the developed world.

Those are mature woodlands, aren’t they?
One of the reasons of planting around the tropics is the speed of growth. I’m not sure we can wait for the temperate forests.

Looks like Labour have said no the nation of sanctuary nonsense and other pie in the sky ideas put forward by Plaid .
Much as I despair at policies by Labour and Plaids agenda to allegedly get it all in order sadly more freeloaders in Cardiff Bay with no grasp of local issues .
Lets get the Greens into The Sennedd next and can they do any worse than this lot .

Species such as rowan and birch are quick growers in temperate climates reaching maturity in 10 to 15 years, however you would want to plant mixed woodland for obvious reasons. Trees in the tropics grow roughly twice as fast but tropical woodlands hold about a third of the carbon so there's a crossover point dependant on local factors and the mix of trees. Trees in the tropics live, on average, about half as long as temperate trees, so in the long term temperate forests are a better store for carbon. Trees such as balsa can live for only 10 to 40 years in tropical climates, depending on the conditions, so it's temping to grow these and harvest the wood. The Mbale Project that the Senedd contributes to is an agroforestry initiative, rather than a tropical rainforest project, that includes beekeeping, fodder, and firewood.
