As usual, the NYT will cover just about anything other than phase-out of fossil fuels, which I’d both what we need and would upset major advertisers
No, it can’t.
While soil is a big pool of C, the effort needed to pull enough C into the soil to make a meaningful difference is astronomical.
C increases in soil take much more time than we have to get our carbon balance under control. Instead of focusing on things that make actual differences (green energy, reductions) start ups like this have us chasing our own tails.
Improving soil C is a great thing, just not the solution

Correctly differentiating between “good enough idea to be worth pursuing” and “greenwashing scam” is a difficult skill too few people have. Doing it while also avoiding the pitfalls of seeking a single silver-bullet solution, falling for misinformation (e.g. “EVs are worse than gasoline cars” or anti-nuclear hysteria), or succumbing to cynical nihilism is even harder.
I think the most relevant part of your comment is not falling for silver bullet thinking. It’s a highly complex problem; why would a simplistic answer work?
It’s something, but since most news orgs (all?) are owned by conservative billionaires, they are banking on a Trump win and want to stay ahead of the narrative so it doesn’t look like they’re the capitalist flibbertigibbets they are or run afoul of Trump’s ever-changing whims.
Are you lost?
No. Are you? I responded to the comment by OP.
Apparently, or at least reading too fast, and missing the comment on the post, thus the disconnect. Without that, your comment is hilariously confusing on a topic about soils.
The missed cue is mine for sure, but I hope you can see why I was wondering what was up
For sure. I tend to ignore NYT, Newsweek, and other similarly right-wing-owned publications at this point, so I don’t usually bother reading their published stories past the headline.
By comparison, random internet comments are often more interesting and illuminating!
