"A study published recently by the US National Academy of Sciences claims that regenerative farming can sequester 3% of our global carbon emissions (www.pnas.org/...). An article in Science suggests it could be up to 15% (science.sciencemag.org/...) . And new research from the Rodale Institute in Pennsylvania, although not yet peer-reviewed, says sequestration rates could be as high as 40% ( rodaleinstitute.org/...) . The same report argues that if we apply regenerative techniques to the world’s pastureland as well, we could capture more than 100% of global emissions. In other words, regenerative farming may be our best shot at actually cooling the planet."

Up to now, we've been talking almost exclusively about emissions. We need to start talking about sinks too. Amplifying existing systems with techniques we already know can do remarkable things according to what I've read and heard. See Geotherapy: Innovative Methods of Soil Fertility Restoration, Carbon Sequestration, and Reversing CO2 Increase (www.crcpress.com/...) and Biodiversity for a Livable Climate (bio4climate.org) for much, much more.
Geotherapy not geoengineering.
