I do tend to prefer processes that convert CO2 to a solid form, but we may well find that even converting it to limestone, cement and marble, given technical feasibility and regardless of cost, would be inadequate. After all, the oil I lived above in Whizbang Oklahoma was covered by thousands of feet of limestone. It is likely that that limestone was a significant part of reducing the atmospheric concentration of CO2 to the levels we have known in the 19th and early 20th century. As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
