Removing CO2 from the atmosphere is fixing things ASAP. The alternative is leaving it in the atmosphere.

There's no chance that they can remove the yearly added CO2. If they were serious, net zero would be 2025

Look at the MAC diagram here and then tell me we need to start with the least sensible thing first.

The issue is not removing it or leaving it, it is not emitting even more and at growing rates on top of that.
