Would take a lot of wood; there are some fast growing but
otherwise useless trees (you-clipped-us, for example) that
would be suitable for this purpose.
I hesitate to mention hemp (since my impression is that most
of the people pushing hemp are really more interested in the
wacky tabaky variety) but hemp (the non-psychoactive kind)
does have some seriously good points. It's fast growing,
nitrogen fixing, produces what's apparently a good quality
fiber, and if you grow a big excess and bury the excess...
I think it would be pulling carbon out of the air faster
than trees, which are pretty slow growing.

There may be other plants that are even better at this.
Seeding the open ocean with iron is also proposed - creates
an algal bloom, which dies and sinks to the ocean floor.
Only in some areas, with a high silica content. Otherwise it just dies and rots.>>
The ecological side effects are not well studied.
Still well worth studying, in my opinion. We should not be leaving any stones unturned.

associated with these.
I'm not sure that in the end this will amount to anything. But I think we have to study everything.
