One danger of promoting carbon sequestration is that people might think that they can emit as much as they want, since its' going to be removed from the atmosphere anyways. More dangerous yet, lobbies pushing this way of thinking to the public and trying to get away with more emissions: "Yes we are extracting oil, but we also spend X$ each year for carbon sequestration. This is a little bit how these lobbies have been pushing changing personal habits "turn of the water while brushing your teeth, don't use plastic straws". Or also CO2 compensation (or absolution as I call it). Not to say that we shouldn't invest in sequestration, but just need to be careful with the phrasing. This article does a good job, saying BOTH need to happen (reduction of emission and sequestration).
