In Mao's time everyone got a bike, and that was a huge advance. Today everyone get's a car. Some might be EVs (fueled by coal power) but others are not. And every year world CO2e emissions go up. And every day we pretend it's ok because it went up by less that it would have if we had put it up even more. But we need them to come down, not just go up less quickly. And we needed that in 2000. Not "we might manage it in 2030".
