Plato notwithstanding, it looks to me like someone said, "Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."
First Edit -- I shouldn't put it on anyone else to do it, so I listened to Freeman Dyson again. His 2nd heresy, at 10:52 (he touches on abiotic oil at 7:20), is titled Land use and Climate. He asserts that 1/10" of new topsoil (averaged over all the arable land on the planet) would sequester all the carbon emitted into the atmosphere year on year.

Is he saying that carbon dioxide is not a greenhouse gas?

His assertion there is that CO2 has more effect in cool, dry air than in moist hot air so the cool parts get warmer, but the warm part don't get hotter
He puts his head down and plows through the words, but you can put Settings on 1.5x speed and save a few minutes.
