Large-scale tree planting can remove some CO2 from the atmosphere, but nowhere near as much as humans add by extracting and burning fossil fuels. See https://skepticalscience.com/1-trillion-trees-impact.html for a detailed assessment of what this looks like.
The IPCC has a chart showing what actions need to be taken over the next few years. Afforestation is one piece of many things, all of which we need to do.

Every thought uttered by a conservative is deception, manipulation or profoundly incorrect. Every proposal made by the GOP is designed to financially benefit them or harm others. Every time. This is not some magical moment in which they’ve decided to become humans. They are lying.
Conservatives (including neo-liberals) are the henchmen for corporate interests and should never be trusted. Do not take them at their word. Their word is always deception. Always.
