Here is me dealing with this basic idea back in 2010.

Dear Mr. Branson:
It is my firm belief that the number one technological device to reduce atmospheric greenhouse gases has already been invented. It is the tree.
What is desperately needed at this time is not necessarily a new mechanical device but instead a paradigm shift in economic theory regarding monetary policy. We require a readily understandable explanation on how leaders in business and government can direct not only millions, but actually trillions of dollars of investment into combating global warming.
One of the most effective practical methods that could be put into place in the least amount of time would be dozens of the largest possible desalinization plants all along the Mediterranean and Red Seas. Huge quantities of fresh water could be dripped onto the Sinai and Sahara deserts and voila, well chosen species of newly planted fast growing trees could soon change the color of these relatively desolate areas, significantly reduce atmospheric CO2, positively affect local weather patterns and at the same time significantly counterbalance the increases in worldwide ocean levels as the polar ice caps melt. This will buy us some extra time and thus expand the very brief window of opportunity to deal with climate change.
So who is going to finance the construction of all these massive installations not to mention the planting of all those seedling trees?
Here is me dealing with this basic idea back in 2010.
