This is an outdated and misinformed argument.

In fact, carbon dioxide removal will be essential to preventing catastrophic climate change. It is a pollution cleanup and disposal measure that needs rapid, worldwide implementation. Essentially, it is restorative. To argue otherwise is its own kind of denial and a misreading of the problem at hand.
