while these news are great. it is good to remember than decreasing emissions is not enough.

if you see in a room that is filling fast with water and you are about to drown, would you be relieved if water simply started pouring a bit more slowly?

it will take decades for the atmosphere to get back to normal even if we halted new emissions
