Today we can do nothing without breaking eggs. Non egg-braking technology is on the pipeline, and getting perfect. We will almost certainly switch to it soon. Egg restoring technology is further away, but it does not have to be easier, because we will have mostly stopped breaking eggs when we get there.

The egg is already broken. We can stop breaking more eggs by either tying our hands, or e.g. strengthening the eggshells or engineering some other compensatory solutions. We are humans, who are engineers. We don't like our hands tied.
It makes no sense to first burn coal and then try to suck out the 400 PPM CO2 from ambient air. And where are you even going to store it?
