We already have carbon capture technology, which is deployed at mass scale and transforms carbon into some of the most useful resources on earth, like food, building materials, raw materials for fuels and plastics and much, much more. Given that this technology already is deployed over enormous stretches of the earth and that it actively benefits in its productivity from elevated levels of CO2 why not further that technology?

CO2 isn't some poison in the atmosphere, it needs to be there. The one thing under control of humans is what percentage of Carbon is in the atmosphere or bound in different forms.

The problem isn't too much CO2 in the atmosphere, it is that the amount of CO2 there can't be reabsorbed at a self regulating rate.
