With the excess CO2 we have in the atmosphere generated by humanties addition to fossil fuels, nature itself cannot act fast enough to save us. Over millenia trees, natural carbon weathering and other processes will stabalize conditions but we cannot wait that long.
We have to do everything you said and optimize technologies that convert gaseous CO2 into something that can be permanently stored.

Not saying this isn't a herculean push that requires all efforts - the only efforts I have a difficult time swallowing are CCS and geo-engineering (see other comments for reasoning). I'm all aboard for the others that have been put forward at this point.
