      Carbon sequestration is not possible right now or even for the foreseeable future.

      Forcing jets to use renewable resources is a good one be should aim to ban private short and medium haul flights in general.

          In order to actually sequester carbon from trees you then need to cut them down and use or burry the lumber in a place where it will rest for the rest of time. Besides we would need vastly more space, water, and firefighting to even approach real offsets. Trees are nice for shade and some ecosystems but they don’t really have anything to do with climate change beyond burning up faster.
