Carbon removal is expensive and sounds like science fiction.

Unfortunately, IPCC reports from 2018 and 2023 confirm that carbon removal is necessary to stabilize temperatures. Decarbonization alone is no longer enough. We need to get better at carbon removal...fast.

"We need carbon removal," sadly, isn't actually an argument for the feasibility of carbon removal.

It is also possible (nay, probable) that this dilemma will get resolved by just... humanity not getting the thing we "need."
