Carbon capture is cleaning up dog shit in the kitchen with a toothpick instead of training it to go outside.

The dog has been dirtying the kitchen floor for long enough already that we're also going to need that toothpick.
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change AR6 fact sheet on carbon dioxide removal:
"Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) refers to technologies, practices, and approaches that remove and durably store carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. CDR is required to achieve global and national targets of net zero CO2 and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. CDR cannot substitute for immediate and deep emissions reductions, but it is part of all modelled scenarios that limit global warming to 2° or lower by 2100."

And the dogs (pollution sources) are standing by to provide as many toothpicks as it takes to discourage anyone from bringing in a shovel any time soon.
Especially if the toothpicks cost so much it ends up with shovels remaining out-of-reach.
