Yeah agreed I remember reading back then that 2020 would be peak, but we've sailed right past that and emissions were higher than predicted. And we've kept on increasing even with the covid dip pushing things down.
Yeah, hopefully this is some genuinely good news, but it's hard not to see it as an unbelievably positive spin on the fact that this year we'll emit more CO2 than any year in record.
It's not enough, but it's a start. Keep up the good work, everyone. "The world is managing to bend the curve on emissions due to the mass adoption of solar, batteries, and electric vehicles. These emissions-free technologies are helping to displace fossil fuels; next year, renewables could surpass coal, per an International Energy Agency forecast released last week."
The Reminder bot needs to be pinged for a date at the end of 2025. I would laugh if it wasn't such a dire situation.
This smells like bullshit
