NASA has technology, MOXIE, to convert CO2 into oxygen. Why isn't the technology utilized to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Earth's atmosphere?

It would seem this could be the answer to reversing global warming. If we can do it on Mars, we definitely should be able to do it on Earth. Mars doesn't even have a suitable atmosphere to hold oxygen.

We're working on it. Intelligent landscaping is a start. Artificial 'leaves' are also being used to filter CO2.

But like like recycling, it doesn't work unless you start with prevention.

@Graylight Leaves? Are those like scrubbers? I've also heard about basaltic rocks used to capture co2 and turn it into stone.

@LoveTriumphsOverHate They're working on many things, I'd guess. Nothing large-scale workable yet, but that's progress. Betterment over time.
