Trees
Let’s say that for 50 years, for every day, we are going to plant a regular number of trees (seeds or saplings) every day. How many plantings need to take place each day, for 50 years, to reach 1,000,000 trees?
50 years equals how many days?
50 x 365 = 18,250 days
This many days, 18,250, into 1,000,000?
1,000,000 / 18,250 = 54.79... approximately 55
So 55 trees a day, every day, over 50 years (approximately).

“...analysis of ice core and ocean sediment cores has provided a credible record of glacials and interglacials over the past few million years. These also confirm the linkage between ice ages and continental crust phenomena such as glacial moraines, drumlins, and glacial erratics. Hence the continental crust phenomena are accepted as good evidence of earlier ice ages when they are found in layers created much earlier than the time range for which ice cores and ocean sediment cores are available.

The Huronian ice age was caused by the elimination of atmospheric methane, a greenhouse gas, during the Great Oxygenation Event.
...
720 to 630 million years ago (the Cryogenian period) and may have produced a Snowball Earth in which glacial ice sheets reached the equator, possibly being ended by the accumulation of greenhouse gases such as CO2 produced by volcanoes
...
colder periods are called glacial periods, the warmer periods interglacials, such as the Eemian Stage. There is evidence that similar glacial cycles occurred in previous glaciations, including the Andean-Saharan and the late Paleozoic ice house.
...
The causes of ice ages are not fully understood for either the large-scale ice age periods or the smaller ebb and flow of glacial–interglacial periods within an ice age.”
How did the trees survive during an ice age? They did, look at the Taiga.
Idea planting a trillion trees:
“... the World Economic Forum launched a new program in January, called 1t.org, to catalyze and coordinate action. Even Donald Trump, who has rolled back 95 environmental protections so far, said that he wanted to sign onto the campaign.”

If Ice Ages are not fully understood, neither is then global warming as they are linked together; Let’s not spray the sky (stratospheric aerosol scattering) - AFTAOM strongly opposes stratospheric aerosol scattering, please see about page:
