Replace that 200 Hp engine that only need produce 8 Hp most of the time. Then massive amounts of gasoline are not burned only to create heat. IOW solve the problem at its source.

That will reduce CO2. But what remains is another problem. Where to put massive amounts of captured CO2.

Currently the oceans have been absorbing massive amounts. Deep ocean studies suggest that may now be diminishing or even ending as CO2 absorbed many decades ago might be coming back to the surface in future decades.

I believe a tunnel in Norway captures exhaust gases and pumps it into expired oil wells. Another solution that still needs plenty of what makes a patriotic American - innovation. The amount of CO2 that must be put somewhere (generated uselessly even by cars) is significantly larger.

Plenty of innovation is necessary. But we have a president who is anti-America. Who loves to subvert innovation in everything he can - including this CO2 problem. He only wants to 'wreck shit'. Since that is what he has done his entire adult life.
