"The doctor who prescribes aromatherapy, magnets and leeches is a professional. It's not like he's giving that stuff out for free. An electric car on a grid powered by fossil-burning power plants is the illusion of activism. So is a solar panel whose carbon cost of manufacture is roughly equal to the that of the fossil fuels the panel displaces during its lifetime. This is what they sell us these days to distract us from deforestation and depleted ocean algae. The primary answer to carbon-based warming is carbon-inhaling organisms.

"False. Electric cars in a fossil-based power grid = zero gains. Nuclear power grid with fossil-based cars = substantial carbon savings. But more than anything else, the Big Energy lobby that has co-opted the climate change movement is trying to get you to subsidize them heavily for pretending to work on replacements to their fossil energy products. That's why the focus is on "green" energy and not on green leaves, where it should be. Faux-environmentalist legerdemain to distract you as they chop down the forests and poison the oceans. Cleaner energy won't solve this on its own, we need the negative footprint of vegetation to pull out of this.

vegetation isn't a negative footprint. It's just a basin of carbon. That carbon is released as soon as the vegetation is burnt/eaten (which is quite frequent). As such, it shouldn't be a big focus unless the rate at which O2 is consumed exceed the rate at which CO2 is consumed.
To have a negative carbon footprint, you'd need to catch the CO2 in the air and store it in giant reservoirs, ideally in liquid form or solid form. This, however isn't simple. Another way would be to send it at the bottom of the oceans, in very deep areas, where the pressure is enough to transform it in liquid form. This might be very hard to do and very expensive. Finally, one of the last way would be to bury the dead rather than incinerate them (animals, humans, plants). This cause the carbon contained in our bodies to go into the ground rather than in the air (through combustion). This is a very cheap solution but extremely slow.
