Carbon emmisions worldwide were up 1% in 2019.
Up.
Claiming carbon emmisions are slowing is like saying you’re driving slower because you only increased your speed from 100 to 101.
Since 2015 it’s been steady at 1% but that’s 1% of a bigger pie each year
Before 2015 it was steady at 3% but that was 3% of a smaller pie
There’s talk of coal reduction and coal produces 40% more carbon per unit of energy than gas but...
every bit of coal that can be dug from the earth is going to get burnt
I know people aren’t hearing that but it’s true. Coal has such an incredible amount of stored energy in it - it might as well be crack rock lying around in a ghetto - it’s getting ****ing smoked
