GOP wants to plant 1 trillion trees. Can that stop a warming climate?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : The Democratic president has also said that coal, oil, and gas will be part of America's energy supply for years to come.
60% : House Republicans and many Democrats have also advanced proposals to speed permitting for energy projects of all types, including those for "clean energy" such as wind, solar, and geothermal power.
56% : The proposal, which passed the House on a mostly party-line vote in March, would spur American energy production, especially oil, gas, and coal.
51% : But the solution long touted by Democrats and environmental advocates - government action to force emissions reductions - remains a non-starter with most Republicans.
49% : They have targeted government incentives for clean energy projects and denounced investment strategies that account for environmental impact.
48% : The party is no longer denying that global warming exists, yet is searching for a response to sweltering summers, weather disasters, and rising sea levels that doesn't involve abandoning their enthusiastic support for American-produced energy from burning oil, coal, and gas.
