Why is this trajectory continuing?
We keep burning fossil fuels!
“Power sector emissions [the largest source] grew by 1.6% in 2023
“There is a growing commitment to accelerate the phase out of unabated fossil fuels. However, NONE of the major fossil fuel-producing countries or companies have committed to phasing out these activities to fully transition away from fossil fuel extraction or production
“Fossil CO2 emissions account for approximately 68% of current GHG emissions”
