Direct Air Capture is a technology that sucks CO2 molecules out of the air.

But a professor says direct air capture is not a real solution to climate change.

Most air-capture companies are funded by the oil industry, Mark Jacobson says.

A demonstration plant in British Columbia , Canada , can pull four tons of carbon dioxide out of air every day.

One-hundred -and-thirty air-capture plants are in the works around the world.

"We actually know how to get to net zero . We need to roll up our sleeves and get to work," says Lori Guetre .

"When we put all the tools together wind, solar, electric vehicles, and carbon dioxide removal at scale we have everything".
