Global carbon budget estimates for 2024.
A interesting read about the C02 emissions over time. In particular, 2024 shows a slight slowdown.
Incidently, this graph is a good way to show skeptics that human activity obviously affects climate via CO2 emissions. Refer to this graph below and see how drops in activity during world events ( like covid19) results in a slowdown and hence, less emissions.
Apparently there are still low information people who dispute that fact.
Use that for rebutting your MAGA relatives during Thanksgiving.
