I get that, but what are the implications? Consider that the vast majority of CO2 emissions today are coming from the countries that are still developing to that standard we enjoy. We have no right to ask them to cut down. Therefore, we have no choice but to invest into sequestration, because that's the only way to pay down that "debt".
As an alternative, would it be worth it to help developing countries build green solutions now, maybe the economies of scale will help offset some of the short-term cost?
You're right that it's not right to force still developing countries to halt their progress. I just wonder if there's a way to help them develop in a way that is better long-term.
Absolutely, technology that scales out to the rest of the world is the only hope to actually make a substantial difference. That includes sequestration, renewables, but also nuclear fission and (hopefully) fusion.
Unfortunately, most of the activism seems to revolve around "us sinners" needing to abstain from our indulgences.
