    and it too has been accelerating so it doesn’t change the point its just there are some prior emission impacts

    Say you don’t understand emissions measuring without actually saying you don’t understand emissions measuring.

    Past emissions only place emissions up to a value. Current emissions are what determine whether our emissions output is continuing to accelerate, or are actually slowing down.

    And yesterday’s emissions continue to be smaller than today’s emissions. That is why it’s called accelerating emissions.

      Not necessarily true. According to the article, it’s quite possible that yesterday’s emissions are the same as today’s emissions. Meaning, we’ve stopped increasing emissions.

        Until that graph curves over, it isn’t true.

        Evidence trumps wishes and fantasies. I refuse to get ensnared by hopium.
