We really need to do this. My only question is how it is paid for, from taxes or is there a way to make it profitable, like making carbon building materials?

This is how worthless promises and talking about something (without action) is.

A draft priority list for the next five years goes heavy on defense, barely mentioning climate change.
A quick scan of a leaked EU priority list for the rest of the decade reveals a telling quirk: The only mention of “environment” is a promise to create a “business-friendly #environment.”
Instead, the document — essentially a mood board EU leaders compile every five years to guide the incoming EU executive in Brussels — is littered with references to defense, security and migration. Climate change is barely mentioned. Nature and biodiversity don’t feature at all.
The draft, still subject to change before EU leaders endorse it after the June European Parliament election, reflects months of talks between European Council President Charles Michel and the heads of state and government he represents. And it serves as a neat illustration of their shifting priorities
It’s a marked difference from 2019, the last time EU leaders set out their vision. That “strategic agenda” put climate change front and center, calling it an “existential threat.” One of the #EU’s top four priorities was “building a climate-neutral, green, fair and social #Europe.”

April has continued with an astonishing warmth across Europe, with hundreds of monthly temperature records shattered across large parts of the continent. But this week, the historic #heatwave is coming to an end. And it will be a dramatic temperature change, from above +30 °C over the weekend into single digits by mid-week. On top of it, a sharp cold front will likely bring snow into lowlands across central #Europe and the Balkan peninsula. Followed by an increasing risk of damaging frost.

CO2 is quite unimportant in controlling the Earth's climate, what is important is clouds.
A problem with these sort of conversations is that it become so polarized and the rhetoric tend to tilt toward absolutes. This movie have arguments that must be taken into account, but, that does not mean we should not continue reducing pollution, nor reducing fossil energy use or overall material consumption.
Do to human expansion, infrastructure, agriculture and our meddling in nature we have changed the consequence of normal weather and we feel the effect of this, its tempting to mistake that for climate change.

Don't expect it to be the big news, because it is not a Wall Street scam company behind it and you can't patent it or get money from gullible people or help eco terrorists using it to greenwash their image.

Tackling climate change, viewed from an economic angle. You will often hear people whining about how expensive it is to fight climate change. Those people usually not only ignore the costs that will arise if we don't do anything, they also ignore the economic reality, usually lobbying for certain economic interests.
Funnily, there are even solutions that come with negative costs. Others (like bicycle infrastructure) don't cost much, they only need to be done.

Cue up that song from #Bread : "IF"
"...if the world should stop revolving
spinning slowly down to die
I'd spend the end with you
And when the world is through.
Then one by one the stars would all go out
Then you and I would simply fly away"
But it should make us think more than twice about mining other worlds and then adding all that extraterrestrial mass to the terrestrial mass.
