Direct air is a red herring. Please let’s not put more money in that tech, it takes away talent and capital from what already works. That and large scale CCS. Both technologies have high risk, super expensive and require heavy subsidies, and only hypothetically work at huge scales (which requires large investments to find out of it even works). Don’t even start me on the pure insanity of geoengineering - we will literally kill our own race or a range of other species by effing that up so bad.
For those jumping in the climate train, welcome on this long slow painful journey. It appears there is some movement to fix it again, and I am hopeful that the balance of power swings towards climate and protecting the planet. We are a funny creature and I don’t trust us in large numbers to do the right thing.
Energy system transformation, reforestation/protecting against development, political power and policy change, are some of the great high impact areas that are already getting lots of momentum but need continual work and effort.

There’s lots in the agricultural arena as well.
