welcome to the EA community. I also encountered EA related topics countless times before joining (Give Well, 80k, LessWrong, …). Nice to see you here. :)
Now to your questions.
I dont know if 80k works with career advisers in educational institutions, but I know that they will answer your question fast and in detail if you write them directly: https://80000hours.org/about/contact-us/
Doing good better is published in 2015. Carbon capture and sequestration is still future tech and does not resolve the problem with rising climate gases.
Simon Clark did a video on this topic lately, condemning the tech:
Why not just donate to the best cause? The best cause is specific to you. It is good practice to splitt your donations on different cause areas, since you have different interests and want to improve the world in different areas. If everyone would be like a perfect robot and is only donating to the best cause at the time every donation would go to them, thus making everyone else neglected which would make them the best cause in return.
You don’t have to donate strictly to one cause area, feel free to decide in which area you want to have an impact and then search where you could make the biggest impact.
Nice to see that you have read quite some EA literature and that you are working together with your students to make the world a better place. The saying goes in the education for Sustainable Development:”think globally, act locally.”

Have a look into the IPCC report and look for yourself:
