[Terrapreta] why we must relate to cap and trade

[Greg and April]

Great, so let's work on retort construction, because as long as people have to buy that char from someplace else, that's all it's going to be ( all talk and no action ) because all the char in the world, isn't going to help anyone if they have to buy it commercially ( and if plans costs enough money to buy a fairly decent used car then that's going to inhibit people even further ).

This is one case where I honestly believe that hands on work is the only way to truly show people that Terra Preta will help poor soil.

  Hi Greg,

  Thinking carefully about your reply here, "Terra Preta has more going for it than just another carbon sink, ...".   I now say Show Me!
  I have NO ARGUMENT there.  I know you are right in this statement.  Unending discussion about how to make the "perfect" charcoal for Terra Preta soil formation, and how make it and use it only if in an entirely economical way from the get go, could well remain merely discussions well past the time that carbon sinks would do any good.  Indecison and inaction are the enemies.

  Regards,

  SKB

    Sean,

    The reason hardly anyone responded is because not everyone believes as you do, and even those that do, they probably didn't want to get into another time wasting argument.

    Terra Preta has more going for it than just another carbon sink, and I sure that most of us would rather spend our time on all it's aspects than get into another " Is AGW real or not " debate.

      Folke Gunthur sent an E-MAIL posting to this list last night with the subject line ...

      Re: [Terrapreta] Atmospheric CO2 Hits 387ppm

      I posted a response to this list about Folke's posting, pointing out the implications of this rather alarming development in the observational data.
      NO ONE ELSE responded and now it is just a lame, dead-end thread between Folke and I, I guess ...
