Good morning with good news: There is a 70% chance global CO2 emissions start falling in 2024 says research by Climate Analytics. Wind & solar growth could peak coal in 2023 and gas in 2024. EV growth may cause peak oil in 2025. 50 countries peaked total GHG emissions by 2015!
Nobody alive has seen a permanent decline in GHG emissions. Reaching peak and then declining emissions will change the psychology of climate action. It will prove that fossil fuels are being replaced. This pressure is why oil bosses squealed at CERAweek. ca1-clm.edcdn.com/assets/When-wi…
@johnrhanger Once the emissions go down what will be the new crusade and associated hysteria?
@johnrhanger The continued acceleration scenario is very likely. Not because suddenly governments decided to fix co2. Because solar, batteries and EVs are already the most cost efficient solution, and prices are still dropping fast.
@johnrhanger @simongerman600 What matters more than all the other countries combined is the CO2 emissions of the USA and China.
That electric cars will be environmentally friendly for many years to come. That's right. The idea of wind energy is environmentally friendly. Is also correct. The production and the materials used are current. The most expensive hazardous waste that we throw at the mother first. Atomic energy is a good, safe and recyclable solution.
@johnrhanger Given that India and China are building power plants like crazy, there is no reason to believe emissions will fall. Fortunately, more CO2 is a good thing, as it makes the plants grow better. More food to feed the world is a good thing.
@johnrhanger Let’s hope this forecast is true.
