Mango trees are super absorbers of CO²

[zands]

What we know about mango trees and carbon sequestration so far

As mango trees grow, a process of carbon sequestration or carbon uptake occurs. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide from the environment and with it forms the trunk, branches leaves and fruit.

The process of growing, harvesting and shipping mangoes, from the orchard to the retailers, generates greenhouse gases and releases them into the environment. Mangoes use up more carbon than they emit. They are not just carbon-neutral but they have a carbon negative footprint. Mango trees are super absorbers of CO²; Mexican mango trees absorb significantly more greenhouse gases than is created in the production/shipping process, making them a positive crop to combat climate change.

*** I am a global warming skeptic. But this looks like the world should plant millions more mango trees to absorb CO2. Now you have some new bragging rights. And orchardists and sellers can post a large sign next to their mango sales table

Thanks, zands, was starting to feel guilty adding no less than four more mango trees to the stable within the last month.

In return can we blame we blame global warming for increased yields lol? 11 new trees between 2 properties for me this year

Plant more mangoes!!

Thanks for justification Zands…just planted a nice 15 gallon M-4 and a cecilove plus a seedling of sugarloaf…

This is what I have tried to convey to the “native re-veg fanatics” here. They only think native tree’s can save the world from the looming climate armagedon that Musk is making billons riding.

They (climate warriors) seam to also forget that Co2 sequestration is tied to leaf surface area so if the tree’s photoshyntesise it respirates C02. Not only native species do this…
Jackfruit, mango and some other species grow as vigourously as any natives. And establish super easy from direct seeding. Plus valuable yield… hmm seams like Gates are more concerned with tree cover then feed humans.

Planting fruit tree’s is againts the agenda of the government here, they seam to focus more on removing mango and coconuts and rarely plant any usefull plants on public land.
Maybe it’s in their interest that free food is removed so that GST (sales tax) can flow in!

Flobal temp is govern mostly buy solar and cosmic raidiation which affect cloud cover. Anyone can look into the work of the danish scientist Svenskmark.

Deforestation is a way way bigger issue then C02 or methane etc.

Big thumbs up to Mc donalds for converting the finest ecosystmem in The world to oil palm dystopia..
Could’ve just havested the native fruit for rare fruit export. But hey selling lamp oil is profitable.

Cassowaries love jackfruit and are spreading them all through the rainforest! Can’t beat the cassowary!
Sorry, cassowaries rant sometimes too..

Peace!

Bottom line (Can we all agree?): plant more trees!!!
