People like to get optimistic about accounting tricks, we're in the Eron reality when it comes to climate change. The Keeling curve shows that not only is atmospheric CO2 increasing, but the rate it is increasing is also increasing. The difference between the Keeling curve and all other measures of industrial pollution is that the CO2 in the atmosphere can be directly measured, everything else has to be estimated based on reported figures. It doesn't matter how clever you are in accounting, the atmosphere doesn't care if your reported emissions show progress towards climate goals. The methane situation is even worse[0]. 0. https://gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends_ch4/ https://gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends_ch4/
