The Magic of Trees and Carbon
A moment of science :
A cubic meter of wood contains about 250 kg of carbon while a cubic meter of air contains about 0.117 g carbon.
This means that a cubic meter of wood contains the same amount of carbon as 1.4 million cubic meters of air.

The calculation is a follows: Air is 360 ppm CO2 by volume, not mass, therefore, the mass concentration depends on the molecular weight of the compound.
For CO2 (MW = 44), 1 ppm (v/v) = 0.001800 g/m3 @ 25C & 1 atm. Thus, 360 ppm (v/v) = 360 X 0.0018 = 0.648 g/m3.
The amount of carbon (MW = 12) in this much CO2 = 12/44 X 0.648= 0.177 g/m3.
250,000(g carbon/m3 wood)/0.177 = 1,412,429 times as much carbon in a cubic meter of wood as in a cubic meter of air.
