I like to understand things, not misunderstand them. Let me make it very simple for you. Almost everyone admits that carbon sequestering in biomass is not going to work because the net sequestering is not great. The only way to make that work is to grow a crop, then manually sequester it somehow. You can grow a forest, then store the wood so it does not rot. Things like that. Or, you can try to make sure that more forests are not cut down and the CO2 released. Hint: all that coal took a very long time to make, we can't wait for natural plants to sequester it that slowly again. Which is why the geoenginnering guys are more interested in using the oceans to sequester CO2, not plants. Or using compressors and just pumping it underground. Skip the bio route. Read up a little.
