Direct conversion of CO2 to solid carbon by Gallium-based liquid metals

Agreed, the only way this can be useful is to do both: stop burning carbon; use processes like this to recover the carbon from processes where there isn't a good alternative to producing CO2 output. Cement production, perhaps.

There are a number of marine processes which permanently bind carbon, and they do increase with increased CO2 concentration. Problem is that they are overwhelmed by current production. If we reduce CO2 production to zero, the earth will mostly bounce back on its own in a century or two.
