They better start digging, this works out at 700 trees a second or something ridiculous Labour is pledging to plant two billion new trees in England by 2040 if it wins the general election. The party is also promising 10 new national parks during its first term, as part of its "plan for nature". The Tories want to plant 30 million trees a year, while the Lib Dems have pledged 60 million if they win power. Friends of the Earth has hailed Labour's plan - which would mean more than 270,000 trees being planted a day - as the most ambitious of the three.

New forests are a great idea, I'd like to see more small wooded areas and reserves. I say highlight all brownfield sites across the UK that were heavy industrial areas of contaminated land, and let nature take over.

The Queen's Commonwealth Canopy project, that started in 2015, is planting 20 million trees by 2020 across the Commonwealth. Two billion trees, though? They're going to have to plant them cartoon style... the way Gromit lays railroad track.

Ethiopia planted 350m trees in one day.
I agree though, we're far better off laughing at people trying to find a solution while the candidate we support has no interest in climate change. Especially baffling for people with children.

I'm all for planting trees, but lets have a realistic target

Yes but you are talking about that being done every day for the next 20 years, is that even feasible?

I don't think mocking ambition when it comes to the climate is the right approach, but unfortunately climate change seems to have become weirdly political for some strange reason.

No one on the left is refusing to take it seriously or act on the evidence. Climate science denial is actually a right wing phenomenon that started in the US, and somehow has worked its way over here.

Where is Jacob Rees Mogg? Couldn't get him off the bastard television when he was trying to be PM. Works both ways.

2 billion does seem like a big target, but better to set the goal high so that the minimum achieved is higher
