great for growing plants
Think about this statement for a second, man. Its not just "great" it's their literal life blood. If you take away CO2, plants die. Just like we die without oxygen. Plants eat CO2 and shit O2, so it's symbiotic relationship we have.
If you really think about it... we are doing more harm with deforestation than driving our cars. (ofc, I'm saying this ignoring the India/China problem.)
The earth is still coming out of an ice age, so it's going to continue to get warmer regardless of what we do.
Also, here's the biggest issue of all ... lets pretend that all this climate nonsense is true...
Even if everyone in the Western World did exactly as the climate alarmists want....how do you stop the actual polluters of the world? How do you get India and China to stop everything? Good luck with that.
Trying to stop or reverse anything at this point is stupid...its too late. The fact that no one has any realistic solution to anything just tells me its all about stealing money from people. What should be happening is looking to the hotter future and figuring out how we are gonna keep our ACs powered up.

You have hit the nail on the head when you say that deforestation is doing more damage than driving cars. It's a very astute observation and one that is 100% true.
What's the primary cause of deforestation? Why, human overpopulation of course! Hence why we need to limit immigration before more of our land is deforested to build homes, roads, or farmland.
Unfortunately, we don't have a good way to get China and India to stop. It's what is commonly referred to as "The Tragedy of the Commons". Basically, since no one "owns" the atmosphere, nobody really has any incentive to not damage it if it helps them.
Trying to stop or reverse should be the goal. Indeed, a certain amount of CO2 is removed naturally each year.

It's too late for that.
Think of your house catching fire... At some point you can no longer save the house. You have to start figuring out the plan once the house if finished burning down. That's the point we're at if all this is real.
The great part about deforestation is you can re-plant the trees. Over population is not an issue in he Western World...its an issue in the 3rd world. It's only becoming an issue in the West because the 3rd world has decided we have to house, pay, and feed them all for some fucked up reason.

This is not an argument I prescribe too.
There's other homes, but there's not other Earths.
And no, you can't simply replant the trees to fix deforestation. That's not how forests work ecologically. It's a very complex ecosystem that takes a long time to develop once destroyed (if it can even be developed back up at all).
And yes, overpopulation is an issue in the Western world, but many do not want to admit it.
Look at how out west how some places are running low on water. That's because of humans.
