Or leave it alone to live and thrive, with the downside you have to be willing to tolerate its side effects, eg producing shade and wildlife habitat and oxygen and medicines and beauty and other things nobody wants.

The tree is taking up space so no more trees can grow in that spot. That means there is a limited amount of carbon we can store on the surface of the planet. We started this situation with lots of carbon and greenhouse gasses trapped underground and with a surface full of trees. We can't go back without putting the carbon back.

Build ships and throw them into the ocean. The wood just has to decay slower than new trees grow.

Also: carbon nano tubes and carbon fiber. We will build skyscrapers from carbon. There won't be enough carbon available for all the stuff we want to build.
