If the greens were serious about reducing CO2, they'd advocate planting trees, turning them into paper, using the paper ONCE (no recycling), then burying the paper where the oxygen in the atmosphere couldn't get at it.

In almost any burial scenario, the paper decays and the carbon goes back into the atmosphere.

A more effective way to store carbon, temporarily but fairly long term, is to build houses out of wood. As long as the houses are maintained so the wood doesn't rot or burn, the carbon stays locked up.

Why do you want to lock up carbon?
