    If you want to return the climate to preindustrial levels you have to return the co2 level in the atmosphere to pre industrial levels. Your gonna need to figure out carbon capture at some point but seems like it’s second on the list after we stop generating new carbon.

      There are enough people working this problem that we can realistically aim for both and capitalize on incremental improvements in each area along the way.

        I agree. Too many cooks in the kitchen and all that. There’s enough of us that we can diversify our efforts. A set of large teams working on eliminating carbon production, and a set of large teams working on carbon capture.

        We don’t really need to pick and choose. There’s literally billions of people on earth.
