The endangered Bison trapped in Yellowstone are causing damage to the most widely spread tree species in the United States. I say we unleash the bison and let them ravage all the aspens.

Unintended consequences. It's one reason why you can't trust carbon credits.

I don’t follow the connection between bison and carbon credits. Can you expand on this?

You plant could plant aspen for the carbon credits, the bison dig them up, the aspen don’t grow, carbon doesn’t get captured.

It might not be happening in this case but you better believe people plant some trees and they don’t grow for one reason or another.
