Patrick's note reminded me of something I posted to my blog a few months ago.

I proposed that the best form of sequestration would be to build up the fertility of 
the soil, which depends upon the formation of humus.  Modern agriculture -- remember 
Jerry's post from yesterday -- destroys the humus, releasing massive amounts of 
carbon.
