Beat me to it. Fine taste

Cool trips, now let me explain to you a few issues with this.

First of all a single world tree will need to have a crown bigger than the amazon forest itself in order to produce any type of noticeable CO2 consumption effect.

Second, any type of roots will burn if they bury near magma, effectively killing the tree. Cellulose burns easy. Period. There is not way around this.

If it is big enough to slow the rotation of the earth, it is big enough to have its own gravitational pull and it will essentially collapse the earth beneath itself causing irreparable damage to the earth's general shape. This is an extinction level event.
Now let's take Teldrassil from World of Warcraft. It is big enough to house a city, a couple of villages and some wilderness. A forest of such trees, would be much more practical, rather than one bigger tree. Not to mention more surface area in terms of branches and leaves, so it will be morw effective in cleaning the air + the forest of smaller world trees won't disrupt the earth's gravitational and geothermal processes
