Canada does have a vast forest area ...last time I looked we are second only to Russia.  Ironic however that our forest fires currently generate the same magnitude of GHG emissions as does our oil and gas industry. The US has 70% as much forest area yet generates one twentieth of the GHGs from forest fires. Data source is EnvCanada and EPA annual filings with UNFAO titled National Inventory Report.  The US management of their forest areas makes our efforts look sick. And yes, forest areas/oceanic areas consume close to 70% of global ghg emissions via  photosynthesis. 98.5 % of the data collected from approximately 100 countries in their NIRs is  presently not being reflected in climate warming publications /accords. Reason for collection of data was to facilitate use of 2015 UNFAO Carbon Flux Model to replace the 1990 CO2 Fossil Fuel Emissions Model. The 2015 Model tracts 396 units of global flow while the 1990 Model only tracts 6.5 units of flow. I invite you to join the dots.
