I work in the air pollution regulatory field, so it's kind of disheartening to go to work knowing what we should be regulating but not doing anything about it.
Given that we may have already passed certain milestones, and that CO2 can stay in the atmosphere for a long time if there's no uptake, and that certain consequences relative to our current 410ppm situation will not be seen for years, it seems our only hope is mass carbon capture directly from the atmosphere. There are some companies that are working on this with one having some backing from Bill Gates. Why isn't there massive funding going to develop this? Direct from source and direct from atmosphere CC need to be viable quickly.
