Like carbon sequestration?

That's an interesting idea, but is there a way to prove carbon sequestration, except by providing me with some physical carbon?

It was more of an off-handed comment, but I suppose you could rig some sort of carbon sensor that measures X amount of carbon pulled from the atmosphere. Of course any sort of sensor to the physical world can be rigged to produce a false signal.
