Ah shit what are those goalposts doing way over there? I swear they were right here a second ago.

Emissions are going down.

our dependency on fossil fuels hasn't changed

What is this crap? EVs are all over the place and so is renewable energy. Emmissions are falling. We haven't opened a new coal plant in a generation.

And ok, we keep driving emissions down, what about biodiversity loss across the planet? How many plants and animals are currently on the brink of extinction?

Ok? It's bad and we're working to fix it. That's very different than "we're all doomed and should stop doing anything".

Where is the international agreement to help modernize these countries with renewable energies? Who's going to pay for it?

Greenpeace spreads propaganda? Are you referring to nuclear? Because I don't think nuclear alone would have prevented this, there's still transportation, industry, and developing nations that wouldn't be able to use nuclear.

The effort is not enough...yet. As long as we don't start backsliding, we're seeing an increase in effort year over year.

the inevitable collapse

THIS is the grifter bullshit. "Don't bother acting, it's too late". Fossil fuel doomer propaganda.

Oh neat! I'm checking them out now. I especially like the podcast, I've been getting deep into podcasts recently.

I never understood why some people are so gung-ho about podcasts until I started listening to a couple of good ones. It's like the TVTropes effect, you're listening to a good podcast and then they have a guest on who also has their own podcast so you start listening to them, and then it snowballs...

One podcast I recently found is called Climate Now and it's a great briefer on the nuts and bolts of climate policy and actions.

Still dumb. Technology is actively saving us right now, as the link I posted shows.

Well for one, I definitely don't watch YouTube videos that should be a brief article.

It's worth it to call out shills so they can't spew their bullshit uncontested. This isn't reddit where a barrage of downvotes hides them. They need active pushback.

I dunno, but the currency should be rubles

US emissions have been decreasing since 2007. Not just on a per-capita basis, but on a total basis.

China's emissions may have peaked this year. If not this year, soon.

Just because you don't see effort, that doesn't mean there is no effort. It just means you haven't been looking.

 

This is so weird. In a comment, I can make a link to it that's visible from other communities. But not in the body of the post.
