A climate professor says forestry isn't the answer to climate change. 

It comes after Parliament's environment watchdog released a report proposing completely removing the ability of carbon polluters to rely on planting trees to meet their climate obligations, instead of cutting their emissions.  

Victoria University Adjunct Professor of Climate Change Adrian Macey told Mike Hosking we need a more comprehensive approach to tackling climate change. 

He says planting trees simply isn't good enough. 

Macey says planting trees isn't a 'get out of jail free' card, but rather a suspended sentence.
