Good morning with good news: There is a 70% chance global CO2 emissions start falling in 2024 says research by Climate Analytics. Wind & solar growth could peak coal in 2023 and gas in 2024. EV growth may cause peak oil in 2025.
50 countries peaked total GHG emissions by 2015!

Some data: AUS NEM wind+solar 31% in 2023, up from 6% in 2013.
It's a system with much lower ongoing running costs. And ultimately near zero emissions, of course. Less local pollution too. It'd be reckless not to accelerate the transition.
