Climate change is a lot of different things. For the statement that the count matters and a "tree is a tree", Carbon sequestration? A giant redwood stores more carbon than a fir. Healthy ecosystems? Different trees fit into different roles in a healthy forest. The loss of biodiversity? Once a forest dies, a new forest somewhere else doesn't bring back the lost biodiversity. In theory, Carbon sequestration is the closest to "a tree is a tree", you can plant large amounts of fast growing trees can capture more carbon over time, but that's specifying the later tree, which then matters.
