If someone had a $5/ton carbon removal machine, they would be demonized as standing in the way of the policies that advocates want.

That doesn't make sense. Wouldn't that even be a boon? You would end up with less resistance by those who proclaim doom by empirical evidence, as a provided solution theoretically would exist.
If you actually care about an actual threat, yes, that would be awesome. My point is that the most vocal advocates aren't that, that they want restrictions on fossil fuels regardless of AGW and this is just the latest pretense, so they have to demonize any easy way out.
