@clacke @ExtinctionR CO2 emissions in the United States have been declining since 2000. This is great, but we need it to accelerate. "Degrowth" has been promoted as a way to speed this up. But that's a dangerous switch to flip. And even if we flip it, the data do not indicate that we'd actually lower emissions. I say all this to urge us to promote real solutions to lowering emissions. Not just philosophically wishing them away.
