The "best" IPCC AR6 climate scenario assumes currently nonexistent carbon removal technology and linear growth in said nonexistent carbon removal efficiency as the nonexistent technology "matures"

Shit like this. Will it work? Possibly. Will it be used as a crutch that lets us do whatever we want without actually reducing emissions? Definitely.
Headline: Carbon Capture! Hope!
Buried in the article: "Because the plant currently uses some natural gas, by the time the fuel it produces has been burned it has released a half-tonne of carbon dioxide for every tonne removed from the air. That gives it a carbon footprint 70 per cent lower than a fossil fuel, he said.
That footprint would shrink further if the plant were all-electric. And if it ran on wind- or solar-generated electricity, the fuel would be almost carbon neutral."
Almost maybe carbon neutral-ish, in the future, maybe. :yea:
Well duh, we have to burn it! How else could we monetize saving the planet?
