This was my thought as well. They should be used in addition to, not as a replacement for, trees, bushes, and grass.

It does make me wonder, though, whether or not we could use these to help capture more carbon than we're creating.

That would require a gigantic scale of operations, and trees are just waaaay more economical.

Think of entire oceans full of algae not being enough to stop what's currently going on with ecological situation.
