The promise of Organic Carbon Capture
What if we could solve the climate-change issue painlessly? Profitably? Organically? If we could, wouldn't that be nice! Well, perhaps we can--by not only being green, but actually planting green. According to the Rodale Institute , If we converted all global croplands and pastures to regenerative organic agriculture we could sequester more than 100% of current annual CO2 emissions. In other words, according to Rodale, we could achieve the stated goals of Al Gore, and many Green New Dealers, in a "soft path" manner, not disrupting the economy, including leaving in place familiar carbon-based fuel production. And yet we could still stabilize, and even reduce, carbon dioxide emissions. Not bad! We can call this Organic Carbon Capture . If carbon capture by any mechanism is good, then Organic Carbon Capture is better--it's certainly greener. After all, anything organic is part carbon, and if the carbon is an organic...
