          More of the CO2 currently in the atmosphere has been put there since it was a known issue.

          Depressing but a bad situation is better than a terrible one, so we must push on.

    It looks really great. Implemented policies are for nearly stable emissions. Better then growth for sure, but still not even close to enough.

      For sure. Actually winning a civilization-supporting planet is going to be a decades-long fight to get things to where we need to be

      There are some indicators that Chinese coal consumption might have peaked a couple months back. Not definite yet, but a very real possibility

    That’s an article giving hope for sure. I don’t know how realistic it is. Maybe there’ll be an emmissions peak in 2024 while we should half emmissions by 2030.

    The difficulty is: even if we’re peaking, we have only a few years to half these emmissions, which means there is no time at all to relax. We need to push even harder.

    I’m worried about many countries switching to natural gas and declaring natural gas climate neutral. I believe this could be a big threat.

    Sidenote: maybe I’m getting just old, but I did hard concentrate on that article where every other word is bold.
