Emissions are no longer following the worst case scenario - eviltoast

cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/1282318

Ultimately, the progress we have made should encourage us that progress is possible, but the large and growing gap between where we are headed today and what is needed to limit warming to well-below 2C means that we need to double down and light a (carbon-free) fire under policymakers to ratchet up emissions reductions over the next decade. Flattening the curve of global emissions is only the first step in a long road to get it all the way down to zero.

    Good news, but also means we should continue to try and improve our situation. We all stand to benefit from improvements to dealing with climate change.
