Probably not, but at least it's an actual solution to climate change. It's often disliked because it removes the control that people want over society that comes with the spectre of climate change. But of course it's the only real way to deal with it.

I wish governments would stop bickering about political goals, all of which literally do nothing to change CO2 levels, and focus on actually technological goals of pulling CO2 out of the air to meet whatever target is decided. That is the practical solution, but it has no political value, so instead we argue about "science" and try and hamfist socialist politics into every climate change solution.

What do you mean by this?

I mean that climate change gets used as a boogeyman to try and advance political agendas (often anti-capitalist, more often, capitalism taking advantage of fear). If there was a good solution they zeroed our carbon emissions, climate change couldn't be held over people as a threat to convince them to do stuff anymore

I'm not aware of any policy that gets put forward that could be construed as advancing a political agenda rather than addressing the problem. I run into a lot of self-described anti-capitalists, but they tend to not have any policy prescriptions other than "end capitalism" which is so vague as to be comical.
