Direct carbon capture is necessary if we want to have a shot at reasonable survival. Maybe it’s not top priority in late 2023 when we have so many easier and faster things to do and advocate for, but in long- or even mid-term we’re cooked without it even if emissions dropped to 0 today. In an eco-war economy the entire scientific community would be forced to make it work. Look up “warming in the pipeline”, 6 degrees within 100 years would be the result of only the ghg we have emitted to date and we’re not going to stop, like, ever.
I don’t doubt them. Also I haven’t seen any actually viable carbon capture tech.
This doesn’t change the point that without removing CO2 somehow we’re done for in the longer term. Whether with supertechnology or GMO bamboo or whatever, but it must be figured out.

Skeptics argue that you would need the entire world electricity supply for direct co2 capture.
Please stop.
