The article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/mar/24/george-monbiot-climate-change-biochar in the Guardian by George Monbiot it did huge damage to the vital build-up of interest and action around biochar. His tendentious article derailed focus on R&D that is necessary to understand how to best deploy this planet-saving substance.
This pulls the carpet under Monbiot's arguments:

I hope activity going forward can focus on serious research as well as deployment on the ground. The focus now must be to get carbon credits from emitters to pay for deployment of pyrolysis plants in local poor communities. This will reduce the destruction of virgin forest, promote carbon sequestration and increase agricultural productivity and food production.
