    Picking up trash with a net is a a little easier than collecting 1 trillion tonnes of CO2 from 5.1 quadrillion tonnes of atmosphere, then somehow storing it directly or converting it back into into stable solid or liquid for storage.

    It’s not impossible, but in terms of difficulty and expense the two are orders of magnitudes apart from each other. Like “inventing the wheel” vs “landing on the moon.”
