Daily reminder that all the emission reduced by the complete "western" world (the rest doesn't care about the green move) in the last years was all reversed by the additional emission of a single Asian country (China) and this does not even include the grows in emissions in other fast growing places like India.
The whole green move is a lie. There is no evidence that any of that has any relevant positive effect. And no, "we tried" or "a little bit is better than nothing", is not a valid argument all the efforts combined effects are within the margin of error for our predictions so we dont even know if or how much it makes a different.
The only way forward that makes sense is the one humans always did - technological progress. fusion reactors for example. Imagine what we could have by now if all that effort (financial) would have been used to actually find better ways to do the things that cause the pollution rather than making people feel bad for doing what they have to do survive.
But instead our politics puts money into nonsensical "progress" like for example replacing a certain % or fuel with biofuel which is know to be energy-negative. It needs more energy to produce than it gives back (not true if made form waste biomass but true if its made from crops planted for this.)
