    Plus the complete lack of effort on the part of any government anywhere… we are all so fucked.

        The effort isn’t enough, and that’s the problem. U.S. emissions dropped 2.7% from 2023, that’s great, but that still means we pumped 4.8 billion tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere (I don’t remember the exact phrasing your article used).

        We’re still pumping too much in, and not taking any out, and we’re already hitting limits we needed to avoid. And based on that recent AMOC collapse report that came out, a lot of these climate models weren’t even taking that into account, so I highly doubt we see a reverse of course on climate change as it continues to expound on itself year over year.

        The WWF reported a 69% average decline in all animal species populations on the planet since 1970.

        We missed the exit, everything until the cliff is grifters trying to set themselves up for the inevitable collapse at your expense.

          The effort is not enough…yet. As long as we don’t start backsliding, we’re seeing an increase in effort year over year.

          the inevitable collapse

          THIS is the grifter bullshit. “Don’t bother acting, it’s too late”. Fossil fuel doomer propaganda.
