If done instead of reducing current emissions, 100%. That said, there is a real need to invest in carbon capture technology now so that it can be more useful in the future. It's a small part of the overall strategy to improve our climate future, but an important one as we get further along in the century and emissions already are reduced. So, yeah, if people hold up this technology and say "see, let's keep drilling", fuck that. But as long as it's an "and" not an "or", this is a good thing.

Excess CO2 is wreaking havoc on our planet and quickly getting worse. Why wouldn't we try to pull it out of the atmosphere?
