    What do you have in mind there here? Since we’ve increased our emissions and energy use over that time I have a hard time declaring we’ve been doing meaningful things.

    Making things worse more slowly is not making things better, electric cars being a stand-out example.

      We cut the rate of increases in greenhouse gas emissions. This shifted us from most likely 4C by 2100 to 3C of warming by then.

      It’s not yet enough to say we succeeded, but it’s a start. It’ll take a lot more work to say we got full success, but that’s always how it was going to be: a multi-decade fight to end fossil fuel use and deforestation
