Reforesting with balls of charcoal embedded with seeds

Carbon dioxide will probably go down in history as the most addictive substance ever known to man.

I crave Oxygen. And I'm with Xist, a titrated dose might be a local insult to the tree, but be fatal to the hole's occupant.

I don't think that word can be used in conjunction with injecting liquid nitrogen into the cambium tissue of a pine tree.
I did titrations in chemistry lab and I can't find a way to make a connection.
A 'well-to-trunk' life cycle cost analysis may prove that a flotilla of liquid nitrogen injecting drones would do more harm to the planet than the beetles.

"When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.'

A disruptive technology would use piezoelectric effect to chill the Nitrogen (else air) as it's injected, mooting your cost analysis.

If you're so confident of it's efficacy, then run the hypothetical life cycle cost analysis and report back.

The woodpeckers seem like the simplest solution.

If aircraft created more shade... "Flying bum" airship concept updated with motors powered by fuel cells alongside diesel engines.

I don't think Flying Bum is helpful. Did you read Deltoid Pumpkiinseed?

The Aereon--the Deltoid Pumpkin Seed-- promised to be a safe workhorse of the skies, capable of carrying the payload of entire freight trains with minimal cost. In this exquisitely crafted tale of back-to-the-drawing-board perseverance, McPhee tells the story not only of the Aereon, but of any product development team. ...

The original Aereon was a trimaran.

I dislike most birds, and especially woodpeckers. They can go.

Buzz Buzzard, is that you?

A) First, prove that you won't kill the trees.
B) Then, do the life-cycle-cost analysis or your hypothetical, 'disruptive' piezoelectric liquid nitrogen-producing technology.
C) The cost of all the drones.
D) The cost of charging the batteries of all the drones at the remote sites.
E) The hourly, or salaried employment costs for the drone operators who will deploy the drones into the forests.
F) The energy costs to operate the so-called piezoelectric cryogenic generators.
G) Logistical / quartermaster expenses to create the on-going supply chain to supply spare parts, service technicians, equipment, housing, hygiene, insurance, food, fuel, clothing, medical care, sanitation, vehicles, accounting, pay, energy, transportation,................. for continuous, global, annual treatment.
H) Etc..
I) When you've assembled all the costs, see if that doesn't change your mind all by itself.
A local university business college will do a complete business model for you as a student project, if you'll make some one-time endowment to the department.
