You could also argue for some other method to break down the co2 in the atmosphere! We're very close to making fusion a reality with china able to make it work for over 5 minutes earlier this year and better methods of containing and keeping it going. There's no question in my mind that a few hundred billion in investment into fusion will allow us to rapidly move towards a carbon neutral source of energy. Our goal is to measure what is best for the population of our planet with what is best to tackle global warming.
I like these ideas because I believe humanity should learn how to control our climatic system, learn how to change the atmosphere and in doing so become a more powerful species that could one day make mars and other planets livable. Practice opens doors.
Also consider this, fusion would allow for a full transition to electric cars and away from fossil fuels. It would literally make fossil fuels idiotic literally over night.
