Based on carbon budgets from Lamboll et al https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-023-01848-5 - updated to January 2025, the global rate for cutting CO2 inline with a 50% chance of not exceeding 1.5°C is ~19% year on year. For "well below 2°C" its ~7% each year; i.e. a technology revolution AND profound social change.

As for the budgets, updated to start from January 2025.
For a 50% chance of not exceeding 1.5°C it is ~170GtCO2
For an 83% chance of not exceeding 2°C it is ~575GtCO2

We just don't f***ing care.
Solar is now at a magically low cost, and is easy to install everywhere. It's growing, but it's also being held back by both capitalists and Jevon's paradox. What good is solar if we *ALSO* keep adding fossil fuels to the mix?
