    The 2022 report shows a 0.8% increase for U.S. emissions

    Out of context sound bites like that achieve nothing but doomerism and serve those who want to make it worse.

    The rise is to a level 3% lower than any year in 2012-2018 and 7.5% lower than the peak.

    It’s not enough, but it means we are starting to win, even if it’s too late to save everything/everyone.

    The 7.5% drop is also before what passes for the US centrist part started to take it seriously.
