I'm not suggesting we make extra paper just for the purpose of sequestering carbon. The would obviously be foolish. All I'm saying is that if we are going to keep printing newspapers anyway (and at the moment we are) and the paper that goes into them is a sunk cost, then it might make sense to keep them around both for their historical value and as a carbon sink.
But my tongue was part-way in my cheek when I suggested this because you'd have to warehouse an awful lot of newspapers to make a dent in the carbon problem.
