Basically... A lot! Just to have what effectively amounts to a painkiller. Now don't get me wrong, those are great but you know what's better? Solving the issue that causes you pain to begin with.

I know something better and it's solar powered: Trees!
Trees are great for other reasons, but they grow far too slow to capture significant carbon. The fastest natural carbon sinks are algae.
I say, we damn up all of the arctic circle, propagate Azolla there, kill it off and sink it every season. Nature did it once! We can do it again!
