I only count 9 years with a negative change in emissions (6 of which are probably due to the oil crisis?). The number that matters for warming is the total CO2 concentration. Emissions are the first derivative, change in emissions is the second derivative.
- ben_w 6y agoAh, gotcha. I was doing second derivative of emissions. Still sub-exponential, which is why I’m still optimistic.

- ben_w 6y ago“Sub-exponential” is a statement of the problem space, the solution is log(n) :P
