Agree mostly. This is an important technology and realistically in the capitalist hellscape we live in, carbon capture is going to need to be part of it. But yes this has the potential problem of letting us ignore the problem because we can just pull CO2 out of the air.
Right, the solution is to DRASTICALLY reduce our carbon output AND ALSO do carbon capture stuff. But without the former, the latter isn't nearly enough to do anything significant. We're currently producing A LOT more carbon than we could ever capture, even with optimistic estimates. Reduction is the most important action here.
