I agree. We need to move to more renewables like solar but that is just for the future, burning less CO2 in 30 years from now. The warming will continue to happen, technology can't stop it. The population will grow to 9B but the global growth rate keeps dropping. This planet can't support that many people, no matter how clean we use energy. Look at all the water resources and food resources we are burning and the biodiversity we are killing so people can eat and make a living. It feels like 4B is about as much as we can sustain. The population will continue to drop and the places where the birth rate is high, we need education and empowerment of women to drive the birth rate down to more western rates. This is where we should be spending money, not a machine to pull CO2 out of the air. Nature already knows how to do that quite efficiently but it will take time. We'll have a few hundred years of consequences but it will eventually fix itself.
