If you learn anything today, it should be this:
We're burning more fossil fuels and releasing more fossil fuel CO₂ than ever. Despite what people had hoped, anthropogenic CO₂ emissions have not peaked.
To stay below +1.5°C of global warming, we're supposed to cut emissions by 50% by 2030. 🥲

Combining the slower growth in fossil CO2 emissions & slow decline in LUC emissions, means that total CO2 emissions are close to a plateau over the last decade.
Though, with a rise in fossil emissions & forest fires partly fuelled by El Niño, total emissions are estimated to rise 2% in 2024.

Hint: mining, smelting, manufacturing, shipping, and installing high energy machines doesn't.
