The following message from the US Composting Council list serve today
provides a link to a comprehensive new study of what we know about
atmospheric carbon and global warming. It addresses the carbon
sequestration issue at length.

FYI -
As you may know, the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP)
has
established the Carbon Cycle Science Program (CCSP) to better
coordinate
and integrate carbon cycle research in the U.S. Information about the
program is available at http://geochange.er.usgs.gov/usgcrp/ccsp/

Science planning was initiated in the spring of 1998 with the
establishment
of a multidisciplinary science planning working group, chaired by Jorge
Sarmiento and Steven Wofsy. The Carbon and Climate Working Group
held
planning meetings in March and May 1998. A workshop was held in
August
1998, in Westminster, Colorado, to solicit input from the scientific
community, and from interested Federal agencies. The Carbon and
Climate
Working Group's report, an integrated carbon cycle research plan
addressing
oceanic, atmospheric and terrestrial components, is now available.

The report, titled "A U.S. Carbon Cycle Science Plan", is available in hard
copy from:
