Nothing. You're just asking trees to do something they're not meant to do. Absorbing a single year of carbon emissions would require half the planet's land area of trees. And that's just while the trees are growing and absorbing a lot of carbon. Trees just aren't efficient enough on a per acre basis to make a dent in carbon emissions, let alone capturing the carbon already in the atmosphere.
