Also those were mangroves too so planting those is also about managing floods and reducing erosion, not just co2

Sure, but that is a local problem. Climate is global, and hits EVERY locality, and so it takes priority.

I dunno man, people have greater ability to solve local problems than global problems.

Actually, no. The banning of CFC's is a great example. CFC's were destroying the ozone layer. Nations agreed internationally to ban their production and use. Those bans were enforced and now the ozone layer is regenerating.

Developed nations need to help developing nations to adopt non-mined carbon fuel sources with grants and interest free loans. Them having the technology is more important than making them 'pay' for it.

Yeah that’s a global problem being solved globally.
