Woah, no way! How could this happen? We’ve only been consistently investing more and more money into fossil fuels and infrastructure to both supply and demand them while saying that it doesn’t matter because we bought completely worthless carbon credits..

I’m honestly surprised it’s set to fall. I thought we were still increasing fossil fuel use.

True, guess the silver lining of the planet becoming uninhabitable is we were at least generally heading in the right direction to be able to prevent it from occurring…

Thank China. Just this year they built more solar infrastructure than the US has in total.

Maybe if they’re all super efficient solar electric vehicles like Aptera’s going forward, there’s a slightly better chance. But unfortunately even that’s still quite a long shot.

They might not be the solution to climate change, but they do help local pollution levels. Or at least they would if people would stop buying ginormous pedestrian-smasher trucks at a rate of 20:1 bev.

Not where the resources needed to build them are being extracted, and thats the issue.
