You are trivially confused: The time, energy and resources required to emit these gasses is insignificant when compared to what it will take to capture them back.
That's the problem, and that's what most casual observers refuse to think through and understand.
Go buy a 10 kg bag of fine flour. Walk around your home or office spreading the stuff everywhere.
Now clean up every single particle.
Easy to make a mess. Not so easy in time, energy and resources to clean it up. That's the problem.
