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.
If you look a the physics and engineering challenges of attempting to pull CO2 out of the atmosphere, you’ll very soon reach the conclusion that it’s better to stop CO2 emissions at the source, or to reduce activities that cause CO2 emissions.
The only people who would rather put pollution into the atmosphere, then spend vast amounts attempting to take it out again, are those whose profits come from selling the oil.

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.
