Mostly too late. We also have to have these giant corps stop doing what they're still doing now
Work begins on 'Mammoth' plant that will pull carbon dioxide out of the air (msn.com)
While the truly powerful nations continue to jack off and do nothing, or worse yet contribute even more destruction (Repugs)....
Will this plant do any good or....too late?

lol 6,000 tonnes per year
Occidental Petroleum is going to dwarf them
https://www.reuters.com/business/ene...ts-2022-03-23/
The proposed facility, the world's largest direct air capture (DAC) project, is set to begin construction in the second half of this year in the Permian basin, the largest U.S. oilfield, with a start in 2024.
Occidental's first DAC facility has a goal of removing 1 million tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere per year - 100 times bigger than all 19 DAC plants currently operating worldwide combined, according to the International Energy Agency.
Nature already makes these. They are called forests.
More so, the oceans.
Oh then no problems here
Oxy plans another one

Should see more and more of these from big oil after Biden passed the Manchin Act. Big oil can make profit putting CO2 into the air and then get tax payer money to take it out. That's a pretty good deal.
US awards $1.2 billion to carbon air capture hubs by Oxy, Climeworks

Ole Joe is picking up the tab for Oxy's DACC facility so they can keep using all that free cash flow to buyback shares
^This is the apex of drunk boomer internet posting.
I think he knocked you for a loop and it took you over a year to get yourself up offin' the canvas.
Waiting for his drunk boomer pearl of wisdom: we are all going to die anyways.
Reduce CO2 production first. Dont let it get into the air to begin with via industry etc...
Also reduce deforestation and building on productive shore environment.
The biggest problem with natural take up of CO2 is that as the oceans warm, they hold less CO2. Also the phytoplankton that use massive amount of CO2 in photosynthesis are a bit out of wack.
Red team wont tell developers to do though. So the red team has already shunned the natural uptake route I guess.
These are the drill and burn boys. Dont expect much.

You climate re s are so ing insufferable. Until both of the 2 leading countries, China & India, stop producing 90% of all carbon dioxide output nothing will get done except stifling innovation in the energy sector and elsewhere here in the USA.
Cry more about the one country, I'm sure there's a bit more so don't get your panties in a wad, who has done one of the best jobs in reducing carbon dioxide output.
For Christs sake you dumb climate re s look up to a teenager!
How an Oil Giant Took Control of Biden's Billion-Dollar Bet on Carbon Capture

Reducing emissions which means reducing 40 gigatons produced every year is always admirable but it's not going to happen worldwide
And 40 more giga tons added this year is only a small blip of the geigatons already in the atmosphere dating back to the middle of the 19th century and which will be there for hundreds of years
Reducing emissions tonight to zero across the planet will not affect AGW which is and will continue to be caused by 2500 gigatons of CO2 now up there
The planet and modern civilization is basically f***** by AGW and there is no solution
The oil and gas industries worldwide receive over a trillion dollars in tax breaks and subsidies every year, and they use those hundreds of millions to block AGW reduction projects
Destroying the planet for modern civilization is extremely profitable and really unstoppable
