    Oops, my calculation was way off (missed a kilo-prefix somewhere), we'd need to cut and store about the entire rainforest per year. So, this is obviously not possible as an all-aro…

    Optimistic perhaps, but maybe not impossible ;) I've done some further googling and found some studies on the topic, though on-land: https://cbmjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/1…
