We're currently at 1.2C, and almost every new year, we emit more carbon than we have in any other year in human history.


The developed countries have made tremendous strides to reduce CO2 while continuing to grow.

China is also investing heavily in reducing their dependency on fossil imports.

Sure they want to import less LNG because of increased cost and unstable geopolitics. But they are continuing to build huge amounts of new coal plants (which is largely domestically sourced).


If I'm reading these charts right, it's more CO2 per year than at any point on the geological record.


iirc: we are changing atmospheric CO2 many times faster than the PT Extinction!
