So, during the many hundreds of kilometres of Swedish countryside I’ve covered – with more to come later this week – I’ve lost count of the thousands of very tall trees. Alright, I wasn’t actually counting them. This would have been hazardous and very very dull but there are loads of them as far as the eye can see.

Surely, there are enough tall trees in Sweden alone to offset most of global warming? Or at least some of it? These things are enormous. You’d never get one in your living room at Christmas.

Does anyone have any technical tree insight here?
