Depending on how you farm, your farm is either sequestering or releasing carbon.

If carbon came out of the ground, it has to go back into the ground.

Either you abandon fossil fuels, or you find a way to get that carbon back.

You will die but the carbon will not; its career does not end with you. It will return to the soil, and there a plant may take it up again in time, sending it once more on a cycle of plant and animal life.

I don't think you have a choice but to pull CO2 back that has already made it out, or is about to make it out, because we are not overnight shutting down all the coal plants.

There's something about taking a plow and breaking new ground. It gives you energy.

It is important that carbon storage is carefully regulated, that the process is transparent to the public, and that there is a clear accounting of what happened to the CO2. This is particularly true of underground storage, where there is always a small chance that pressurized CO2 could escape.

Carbon zero simply means that the emissions you are releasing either are zero or balance out to zero.

The reality is that de-carbonisation is not happening fast enough.
