Interesting article, thanks for sharing. There is a glimmer of hope though: the CO2 emissions have stabilized to constant levels in the past decade thanks to coal burning largely replaced by renewables. Before around 2010, the emissions were still growing exponentially.
It's not much, but it shows we're slowly taking steps in the right direction.
I think we are finally moving in the right direction, but unfortunately not quickly enough. One positive of COVID is that it showed just how effective we can be at when something becomes enough of an emergency to get a lot of money thrown at it. Climate change is going to be very difficult for a lot of people but I do think progress will speed up as the effects get more obvious.
