Natural Science 301 Guidelines
This is an open forum area for all members for discussions on all issues of science and origins. This area will and does get volatile at times, but we ask that it be kept to a dull roar, and moderators will intervene to keep the peace if necessary. This means obvious trolling and flaming that becomes a problem will be dealt with, and you might find yourself in the doghouse.
As usual, Tweb rules apply. If you haven't read them now would be a good time.

Yes , anything we do will have a positive effect, but that does not mean it will resolve the problem. I did remotely propose that we should not do everything possible to reduce our carbon imprint and reduce the impact of increasing CO2 output from human sources."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

Using CO2 in a process to produce energy requires an energy source, and heads up the only practical energy source is the sun.
I have no doubt that you can find some quotes from people who will support your claim. I'm just pointing out that your claim is that they represent the majority of scientists; they simply don't. Look up scientists like Katharine Hayhoe, Gavin Schmidt, Andy Dessler, etc. and see what they're saying about mitigation.
We've got multiple practical energy sources. Geothermal, wind, nuclear, solar (both PV and concentrating), and hydro are all largely carbon neutral, and at least two of those are not dependent on the sun. If we end up building those in excess to our needs, then processes that remove CO2 from the atmosphere could potentially be economically viable.
As for this particular process, i'm not overly excited. Carbon monoxide isn't especially useful for producing fuel. It is, however, an important chemical feedstock that can be used in a huge range of processes, so this catalyst is potentially valuable. For fuel production, copper is a much better catalyst, as it can take CO2 directly to methanol or even ethylene. The issue is that the catalysts are relatively short lived before they get fouled by reaction byproducts, so most of the work has gone into trying to structure copper-continuing surfaces so that this is less of an issue.
There's a rather extensive body of literature on it.
