How much does diffuse DAC cost?
Add the price of that on a flight ticket (which we ultimately have to anyway) and we'd be helping address the problem already, before the tech is even deployed.
And the next 35 years - to 2060 - have to be a much steeper reduction than 25%, or the 35 years after that will, one way or another, represent a _forceful_ reduction of a lot more than 25%.
Finally is that 25% on a production or consumption basis? Offshoring and deindustrialisation are not trends that are likely to continue, again more for political reasons than anything else.

It's $1000/ton today, which works out to a 70% price increase for a new york to london flight. I disagree that would "address the problem already, before the tech is even deployed", because zero chance anyone would vote for it in the first place. That's where technological advancement comes in. Startups claim they can hit $250-$350/ton by 2030[1], which is a much more manageable 21% increase. >Finally is that 25% on a production or consumption basis? Offshoring and deindustrialisation are not trends that are likely to continue, again more for political reasons than anything else. It's around 17% on a trade basis[2], but the point stands. Americans haven't eaten 17% less meat, drove 17% less, or bought 17% less stuff.
