    Not to say we shouldn’t try to pull CO2 from the atmosphere, but I just don’t see how we can do that without it also being permission to keep emitting at current levels.

        The technology is here and it is developing at a rapid pace. There are a lot of clever ways to remove CO2. Keep in mind “CDR” - carbon dioxide removal and “CCUS” - carbon capture, utilization & storage are two different approaches to reducing atmospheric CO2 concentrations. CDR includes soil carbon sequestration, bio-char, ocean alkalinity. CUS is storage of supercritical CO2 between the pore space of permeable rock.

      That’s why industry people keep yelling about it, even though some very large scale attempts at it were already failures.

      They’ll keep pushing the scam for the same reason we all have to use paper straws; misdirection.
