It's too bad these DAC systems don't take it a step further kicking the o2 back into the atmosphere while turning the carbon into something physical and industrially valuable like say spools of carbon fiber fabric or graphene/carbon nanotubes.
archive.is has a notorious feud with Cloudflare over some technical detail they care about strongly.

Ok, now let’s go back talking about carbon and oxygen.
But of course, let's trust corporations and government to carefully calculate exactly how much CO2 they should take out.
Can't wait for the revival of the ice age scare from the 80s...
Trees evolved to work with the inputs of their environment, we can engineer practically anything in terms of what materials/inputs are available to a synthetic tree having the sole purpose of spitting out solid carbon.
It's non-trivial to prevent other nations from destroying their forests. But nations that care might be able to make up for it with engineering, from anywhere else on the planet, at least in terms of atmospheric co2. Is the best way for such a nation to do so to just plant trees, or can we do better? It seems like a path worth at least exploring the possibilities of.
