Carbon capture and sequestration is an absolute must investment. That's massive damage and human suffering on the way if we don't remove the emissions that have already happened.

That's massive damage and human suffering on the way if we don't remove the emissions that have already happened. As long as it is cheaper to prevent emissions, we should do that instead of capture and sequestration. If you stop emitting CO2, the atmospheric levels take care of themselves. That is to say, we went to zero emissions tomorrow, they would go down quickly- faster than they went up. For this reason, we should only capture carbon if it is cheaper than prevention, or prevention is maxed out.
