World GDP is growing (well in non-pandemic years) at 3% or so a year. If the cost of removing a year's CO2 is 6% of GDP, then the world has the choice of giving up a couple years growth to 100% keep CO2 in the atmosphere from increasing. Or giving up 3 years GDP growth to start decreasing it back to where it was in the pre-industrial era. The are plenty of ways to deal with CO2 from an engineering perspective. They just have no political support. In America, if a solution costs $1 a month per person, the majority of the public is in favor, if a solution costs $10 a month per person, the majority of the public is opposed.
