Doesn't the 30% figure for the burning ignore the potential of the
chemically processed biofuels which I sent details of earlier? I think that
figure will be more than doubled when a bit of technological tweaking is
employed. How far exactly it goes is to be determined at present. The link

Ice floating on the Arctic Ocean melted unusually quickly this year, but did
not shrink down to the record minimum area seen in 2007.
That is the preliminary finding
Hi Andrew,
As Ron pointed out, we should be considering biochar, because this
addresses a whole lot of issues. The soil improvement is one of the
most important, because it can lead to a reduction of artificial
fertiliser requirement, which has enormous benefits, including the
carbon
This is a very broad discussion and needs some quantitative measures
defined. For example, David, what is carbon mitigation efficiency exactly?
How does it differ from ours?
Strand I wrote our paper to use both sequestration efficiency and to end
up with a dollar/tC cost. A similar measure for
Thanks Ken and George for this important paper.
It raises a number of issues to my mind, some of which we've been
already discussing.
1. Cooling the Arctic
David Keith was saying that the trouble with aerosols at high latitude
to cool the Arctic was that the aerosols would quickly spread

Jim,
CROPS would emulate the action of rivers, which during storms carry huge
amounts of terrestrial biomass to burial in the near shore and deep ocean. The
ability of terrestrial plants to reverse the anthropogenic accumulation of
atmospheric CO2 is clearly evident in the Keeling curve. Every
Dear all:
I have been following the biomass discussion with interest.
I like Stuart Strands¹ list, but something seems to be left out. The
problem with biofuels is that they are a limited resource.
We should examine the idea of biocoal that Bob Williams at Princeton
suggests. With the proper
