#ClimateChange is being caused by human activities such as mining & burning fuels. Therefore, it's nonsense for people to think that the solution to mitigate #climate change is to do more of the problem.
For example, the crazy idea of building machines to "suck" or "capture" CO2 out of the atmosphere will require more resources (mining) & power to construct & power the crazy CO2 sucking machines.
The "solutions" can't be doing more of the business as usual problems.

@Empiricism_Reloaded I think we need to plant more trees. That's the most ridiculously easy way to get rid of the excess carbon in the atmosphere.
And re-wet \ restore peat-lands as they also sequester carbon out of the atmosphere (e.g., all plants sequester CO2).
The nature based solutions have been known & stated in the scientific literature for decades.
But, the solutions don't align with many peoples business agendas or fascination with technologies. That's why business-as-usual promotes developing technologies (products) to mitigate climate change. Doing more of the problem isn't going to mitigate the problem.
