On a per dollar basis, sucking carbon out is the most expensive option. Economics dictates that there is lower hanging fruit & best to prevent / reduce CO2 emissions at concentrated sources than to suck out it from an extremely dispersed atmosphere. You're fighting against basic entropy (entropy always wins).

In economic terms, it's a classic tragedy of the commons scenario. Self-interest and inertia wins.

There's no way you're getting people to downgrade their present for some stranger's future without good incentives.
