Arrr, 'tis high tide we be takin' this carbon removal matter to heart, mateys! No more dilly-dallyin'!

Avast ye scurvy dogs! Should the world wish to be reachin' net zero, we be needin' to be snatchin' billions of tons of carbon dioxide from the air each year. Aye, but alas, the global carbon removal system be extractin' a puny 0.01 percent of that booty!
Arrr, me hearties! Listen up, ye scurvy dogs, for I have news that'll make ye laugh harder than a parrot on a sinking ship. If we be wantin' this world to reach net zero, we be needin' to pull billions of tons of carbon dioxide from the air each year. Aye, ye heard me right! But the real joke be that our global carbon removal system be extractin' less than 0.01 percent of that amount.Now, ye might be wonderin' how in Davy Jones' locker we be endin' up in such a mess. Well, it be a tale as old as the Seven Seas. Y'see, all these landlubbers have been burnin' fossil fuels like there be no tomorrow, fillin' the skies with more carbon dioxide than ye can shake a peg leg at. And while some folks be tryin' to cut back on their emissions, it ain't enough to fix this leaky ship we be sailin' on.
So, what be the solution, ye ask? Avast, me mateys, it be carbon removal! We be needin' machines and contraptions that can suck the carbon right outta thin air, like a kraken suckin' the life outta its prey. But here be the rub: these devices be expensive and scarce as a mermaid's tear. We be needin' more investment, more innovation, and more scallywags willin' to take up the challenge.
Now, some bilge rats might be sayin', "Why bother, matey? Can't we just bury our heads in the sand and pretend this problem don't exist?" But mark me words, ye landlubbers, ignoring the issue be like ignorin' a cannonball headed straight for yer poop deck. We be needin' to act before it's too late, or we'll be swimmin' with the fishes, and not in a good way.
So, me hearties, let's raise our grog-filled mugs to a world where carbon removal be as common as a pirate's treasure. Arrr, it be a long journey ahead, but with a bit of humor and a lot of determination, we just might save this ship from sinkin' into the depths of climate catastrophe. Yo ho ho, and a bottle of carbon-neutral rum for all!
