Renewable technologies are gathering speed, putting the world within reach of falling greenhouse gas emissions. Climate experts say they "struggle to wrap their heads around" the sheer size, scale and speed of the current transition.
This is just unbelievable. I don’t believe it. Numbers are too easy to play with, you can make projections or look at rate of growth rate and say that’s a tipping point. I want to see CO2 emissions diving on a bar graph, because physics doesn’t use creative statistics
Not to mention an emissions decline means we’re still making things worse, but not quite so quickly.
Obviously the path to making things better would have to pass through here, but just as people thinking electric cars are a solution rather than more of the problem, the delusion that this is winning is also part of the problem.
I’ll believe we have emissions in decline when I see the numbers. AFAIK 2023 had record emissions and I doubt it’ll stop there.
Yeah, it sounds great, I want this to be true…
