Today, officially, I’m adding a new blog category: the good news category!
This paper from Nature, indicates, maybe, just maybe our global emissions might be stabilizing, WHICH MEANS, soon our efforts can result in decreased total emissions! By this estimate, in 0.5–6 years (67% likelihood).
GO TEAM!
Much Love.
Here are more details.
Global CO2 emissions for 2023 increased by only 0.1% relative to 2022 (following increases of 5.4% and 1.9% in 2021 and 2022, respectively), reaching 35.8 Gt CO2. These 2023 emissions consumed 10–66.7% of the remaining carbon budget to limit warming to 1.5°C, suggesting permissible emissions could be depleted within 0.5–6 years (67% likelihood).
