Perhaps you be interested in this: www.fao.org: 3. METHODS FOR ESTIMATING BIOMASS DENSITY FROM EXISTING DATA

  • According to Hemp Global Solutions, each ton of hemp grown represents 1.63 tons of CO2 absorption.[1]And according to the Great Book of Hemp, an average acre of hemp will yield 5–10 tons of dried stalk.
  • A tree can absorb as much as 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year and can sequester 1 ton of carbon dioxide by the time it reaches 40 years old.

But these statistics aren’t considering the other benefits of using hemp compared to trees. Since you can quickly grow hemp, whereas it takes decades for trees to fully grow, you can replace many applications of trees with hemp (i.e. paper, composites, fuel, etc).
Hemp paper can be recycled up to eight times.

Well, there's your problem. Vested interests gonna be invested. Try open sources.

At best,you'd get a story.
*state secrets would not avail themselves in the public domain until perhaps many generations has passed,and the original players were already long worm food,if at all.
*And who's historical account? New information surfaces all the time.
*an observer might devine a correlation,mistaking it for causality which doesn't actually exist.
At best stories are all we can comprehend. It's in our nature. Captial-S Science is a story is it not?

State secrets don't trump open source. Haven't you noticed? We live in an age of big data and weaponized autism.

Why don't you have an intellectual discussion with the dog, since you want to know?
