CO2 is not an impurity that can easily be filtered out. It is one of the main emission of hydrocarbon burning. You can scrub out or treat low levels of highly toxic impurities, and continue producing and moving goods, and heating houses and buildings and producing electricity by burning hydrocarbons. But if you want to stop emitting CO2 you have to stop burning the hydrocarbons.

I don't have the article but I read somewhere that if we went to all hybrid cars in the next ten years, we would meet the requirements of Kyoto. While that might be expensive, its not the horrendous expense you are suggesting.
