We need it all. Even if we're carbon neutral the CO2 is still in the air. We need a way to remove it. This is especially obvious given how long it's going to take to even get to carbon neutral.

Can we stop with "we don't need solutions like THIS, we need this other solution." We're going head first into a climate crisis. We need all solutions here.

Not all "solutions" are equal. Some are a waste of resources and inefficient for their supposed results.

No, we don't. Right now we need to cut the 90% of the problem that is caused by the same 3 things.

If you have some solution for a small part of the remaining 10% that is profitable or neutral, go for it.If you are arguing for research, so we can do it later, also, great. But if you want to divert attention from 90% of the problem just so you can improve your favorite 0.01%, just go sit in a corner somewhere until you get reasonable.
