If direct air capture (DAC), a CO₂ removal (CDR) technique, costs $500 per tonne, removing just US emissions would cost ~$3 trillion annually (that's ~4x US military spending).

It would also require twice the total power generation capacity of the US today (and it has to be 100% carbon-free).
Direct air capture: An expensive, dangerous distraction from real climate solutions
Separating carbon dioxide from air, while technically straightforward, is outrageously expensive.

Dear manager, this week I acheived these goals.

1: I wrote a bullet point.

2: I wrote a second, equally clever bullet point.

3: Building on prior successful bullet points, I developed and implemented a third bullet point.

4: I drafted, edited and published a 4th bullet.

5: Egged a cybertruck

If your argument is "sure, a terrible modern event has a parallel in the 1920s and 30s but don't worry we turned out just fine", might I suggest reading about the 1940s.

Hey American scientists and researchers, Canada has great universities and research institutions. The Canadian government has funding available for cutting edge research.
GOC, lets become a scientific and research hub, and give these scientists a place to continue their groundbreaking work!

So many people’s lives are about to be a living hell just for doing their jobs. All because America refused to jail a dangerous traitor.
