For the scientific take on this with estimates of actual amounts, check out Figure 2.5 from the IPCC special report on limiting emissions to 1.5C:

https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/graphics/#cid_457

We are looking at a minimum of gigatons/year of carbon dioxide removal (CDR in the report), with tech that has not yet been developed.

And yet, still, people slowing down our current trajectory. We are nowhere close to making the reductions in emissions in CO2 plotted there.

Even this whole thread is filled with science-denying pedants that didn't even bother to read the attached article. The impediment to technology change is political, not technological, and we need to start holding our colleagues to a higher standard for evidence and scientific accuracy if we want to politically enable the technological change that we need.
