Interesting claim. Yet no one here is claiming 'a means of climate change' but instead is claiming that you can take atmospheric Carbon and place it into the soil for years. |
I have read a number of posts here to the contrary.

So are you claiming that the terra preta soil somehow failed the people? |

What kind of wood are they using and where does it come from? Will increase in production equate to an increase in deforestation?
