Anyone else find it weird when people talk about "carbon removal" instead of "CO2 removal?" Maybe it's just me but "carbon removal" evokes "eradication of life" in a sci-fi way
The significant atmospheric carbon is in the form of CO₂ and CH₄, which are both greenhouse gases. If we "just" removed the carbon, we'd be left with O₂ and H₂, which are mostly harmless.
