Biochar is a concept that James Lovelock is strongly recommending. So it has some respected backers.
Calling it slash and burn is a bit like condemning a railway lines as being iron age. The high-tech version involves carefully charring crop remains (not native forest), in suitable conditions, so that more carbon goes into the ground than into the air. Then, over the crop cycle, carbon is sequestered. If the stubble were just ploughed in, it would rot and release methane.
