:
For your question about space, bulldoze abandoned urban areas and use the resulting materials to help build the farm. And there is a difference from believing that global warming EXISTS AT ALL, and believing that global warming IS ANTHROPOGENIC.
What abandoned urban areas? The human population is increasing at a huge rate. There are few abandoned urban areas and virtually none of them would be appropriate for tree-farming. At least not without creating more pollution than the trees would suck up. That said, reforestation (and, more importantly, the non-destruction of old growth forests) is a major part of the Kyoto Protocol. But it will only work together with cutting down the production of CO2 as it is impossible to plant enough trees for the entire planet to be carbon neutral (unless we destroy all the cities and farming land).

Also: we get what you are saying about very little of global warming being anthropogenic. We just disagree.
