The question is whether massive sequestration is a good thing or not. If
there is more sequestration than release, then we are going to be
cooling the planet (note that CO2's effect as a greenhouse gase follows
a diminishing returns curve). Putting that carbon into longer term
storage will add to the long term trend toward Ice House climate.
