You know, I don't really give the proverbial whether or not any future 
carbon trading systems accept the terrapreta claims of charcoal 
durability. If my experiments confirm that it improves soil fertility, 
I'll incorporate charcoal in any soil under my control. I will also tell 
people about it and show them what I have and if they have any sense 
they will copy what I do. If it takes carbon credits to get them to 
improve their landuse there's something wrong with them.

Of course, big business won't get off it's fat backside unless it can 
make as much money as possible, so that's a whole nuther thing.
