But biochar establishes the fact that carbon can be (semi-?)sequestered by a sustainable human agricultural process, this scheme has been implemented on a large scale in the past, and similar schemes could be implemented in future ag systems. That’s not a trifecta you hit very often in complex systems of any sort.

Upshot: if you are a young scientist/engineer/agronomist/ag economist and want to do real hands-on exploratory science where everybody is in the dumb club, and still make a significant direct middle/long-term difference in the world and its population, soil science could be your ticket.

PS: The content of the article is great. The click-bait title is absurd.
