He's partially right, dealing with emissions should be a much larger part of an overall strategy than is accepted at the moment. Replacing carbon cycle sources is also a necessary part of it.
Scalable emission systems don't appear to be being developed, we can catalyse, we can reprocess emissions at the point of emission. If they're going to kick start that then all well and good.
@simon_lucy @SydesJokes Yeah, he's not stupid.
One thing I remember him doing was hanging around the beer festival wearing a Tory rosette in the middle of an election campaign. "Sorry Tim," he says, "I can't buy you a drink, that would be illegal treating".
Them were (thought to be) the rules in those days. They've since been clarified so that you *can* now buy a drink for someone you'd have bought a drink for in the normal course of events, even if they are one of your electorate.
That was one of the oldest hustings rules, that it became illegal to provide barrels of beer for voters, I think general entertainment is still banned.

There are technologies, nascent perhaps in some cases, but known. You can get flue hoods which filter and feed back to the boiler residual gases but they're too expensive because demand hasn't been generated.
There are catalysts to convert carbon dioxide that scale to the individual household, graphene oxide is part of many of those processes with carbon dioxide also capable of conversion into graphene.
Controlling the carbon cycle is a reuseable source.
