There are legion ways to mitigate expelled CO2. But probably the cheapest is just to leave it in the ground.

"There are legion ways to mitigate expelled CO2."

Could you please elaborate on this assumption?

One way is to use the self-replicating, solar-powered, biotech carbon sequestration product known informally as "trees."

ways to sequester CO2? Plants/Trees, Freezing/compressing air, catalysts that react with CO2, and this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide_removal

Leaving it in the ground with today's technologies is very expensive in terms of opportunity cost. You can leave it in the ground, but people don't want to pay $5 per gallon for gasoline. The climate models don't show high costs to warming for at least s few decades.
