As it should.
Tho, one has to wonder where all the biomass feedstocks are coming from? Quickly the answer comes to grasses and other annual feedstocks and not woodies. And the logistics of moving that much carbon is daunting and energy intensive.
The good news is that modern humans have much better technology than 'Terra Preta people' and can likely sequester carbon at a much faster rate. The bad news is that maybe like many things, you cant rush the wine before its time...if biology is at work, that might take time to get the results we want. I have great faith in science to mimic nature and speed things up but am old and wise enough to know that faster isnt always the best way to do things right.
