[Terrapreta] CO2 in the Oceans

[David Yarrow]

amen.

for that matter, respect each other, too.  we're all volunteers and pioneers 
in this essential endeavor.

so then, i haven't yet read anything that convinces me jim hansen has 
recognized the role of micro-organisms in climate change.  or in reversing 
climate change.

yet, the carbon, oxygen and nitrogen cycles in earth's atmosphere are all 
driven in major portion by microbial and plant respiration.  the soil is 
alive and breathes.  that's how we measured biological activity in soil when 
we started the organic certification system: stick a soil smple in a sealed 
test tube and measure the rate of oxygen-to-CO2 conversion.

terra preta = microbial reef.  carbon is just a slice of this pie.  the 
crust, really.  personally, i like eating the filling best.

for a green & peaceful planet,
