No, the worry is that without negative emissions, there's no realistic way to head off worst case climate change. The IPCC scenarios that have us averting disaster already assume that we're going to develop carbon sequestration technology that is beyond what we can currently do. There will inevitably be some inefficiency in the conversion, but even a fairly inefficient process that is still carbon negative is desirable.
