Remove $8B worth of carbon from the atmosphere.

Planting an $8bn forest would actually be pretty neat.

That will not be an equal distribution as the rich and the old won’t gain as much benefit as a poor child

Now that's the kind of inequality I can live with.

The same is true of a dollar. If I gave a new born baby a dollar and a person on their deathbed a dollar, the baby will gain much more of a benefit.

Also people living in countries where the US dollar is actually used will gain much more of a benefit.
