I am thinking from an energy perspective. Energy used to grow an animal or a plant is energy not used to warm the planet. Perhaps we should design a system that builds a carbon structures using the sun's energy. Rather than Solar Electricity we have Solar Carbon. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/splitting-carbon-dioxide/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/splitting-carbon-...

Energy isn't the issue. The issue is heat. The amount of the energy budget is vast, and we can't substantially affect it by capturing more energy and then using it to build things. The problem is that we have a global-scale heat retention failure, and nothing humans do is going to overcome that. It's entropy. You won't beat the second law.
