Woah, no way! How could this happen? We've only been consistently investing more and more money into fossil fuels and infrastructure to both supply and demand them while saying that it doesn't matter because we bought completely worthless carbon credits..
Don't worry I'm sure electric cars will save us.
Maybe if they're all super efficient solar electric vehicles like Aptera's going forward, there's a slightly better chance. But unfortunately even that's still quite a long shot.
They might not be the solution to climate change, but they do help local pollution levels. Or at least they would if people would stop buying ginormous pedestrian-smasher trucks at a rate of 20:1 bev.
I have an idea
I'm honestly surprised it's set to fall. I thought we were still increasing fossil fuel use.
True, guess the silver lining of the planet becoming uninhabitable is we were at least generally heading in the right direction to be able to prevent it from occurring...
thing is I usually see things about coal increase and we are back to the peak oil situation now that easy fraking is gone. I know they want to export fraking more internationally and im betting there is going to fraking2 - harder, deeper, longer coming out or just getting it in protected areas. So long story short im betting lower oil/gas with greater coal (also don't forget russia can't move its stuff as easily)
No worries folks. Was having an interminably long back and forth with a guy who is sure we are going to figure out technology and shit to not only stop using fossil fuels but also resequester what we have done before it even becomes to bad. Oh and if you want to bring in issues around that or point out even if we 100% "solved" global warming it would not fix our pollution of everything problem. Well then you just want it to happen is all.
