Anthropogenic Climate Change has become one of the most challenging problems humanity and the tapestry of Earth life has yet faced. I will first place this problem in a planetary context by comparing the Earth with Mercury, Venus, and Mars, then argue that society will overshoot safe levels for carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. This inevitability requires that we develop methods to remove CO2 from the atmosphere as well as safely sequester that CO2 for centuries. I will briefly outline worldwide research efforts on direct air capture of CO2, then present the novel approach of our team, which focuses on a mix of thermal and surface physics. The majority of the talk will be aimed at a non-technical audience, yet will contain enough phys...
