If I had a choice to spend money and resources to take CO2 out of the air, or not, I would prefer to leave the CO2 in the air. It is a valuable resource. It is plant food. It is part of the food chain. Nature has ways of taking CO2 out of the atmosphere.
The CO2 level has been declining for a hundred million years, reaching dangerously low levels before we got involved.
There is a much bigger problem to worry about. We have been in the Pleistocene ice age for the last 2.6 million years. We should be in the cool-down portion of the Malankovich Cycles, which will lead to the next period of mass glaciation. It is thousands of years away, but it is a bigger issue than short-term warming that will last just a century or so.
I like a joke I heard: How far are we from Nuclear Fusion? About 93 million miles. Maybe we are looking for it in the wrong place, and just need better ways to collect solar energy.
