We desperately need advances in technology to remove carbon and other lovely things from our atmosphere. This technology is referred to as Direct Air Capture. We already have some, and here's an example.

I believe that direct air capture is the only realistic way we will get our climate problem under control because the major sources of carbon emissions will not stop. We cannot rely on governments to enforce carbon emission reduction, and we cannot rely on the producers of carbon emissions to give a gently caress either. So basically this is something where we will not be able to rely on the planet to clean its atmosphere faster than we gently caress it up, so the only way forward is to clean the atmosphere actively.

There is a good byproduct of direct air capture, which is the production of elemental carbon. Direct air capture can be a source of graphene, and having a cheap source of that would be great for other technological fields.
