Sorry the use of "peak" in the article and my comment implies a reduction right after (not a plateau):
> “We find there is a 70% chance that emissions start falling in 2024 if current clean technology growth trends continue and some progress is made to cut non-CO2 emissions,” authors wrote. “This would make 2023 the year of peak emissions.”
- hashmush 2y agoYes, a reduction in yearly emissions. But that doesn't mean that the CO2 in the atmosphere suddenly disappears. We're still adding to it, just not as much as before (hopefully).
- pera 2y agoBut that's the thing: if we are not adding as much as before then we should observe NOAAs chart curving, instead it still looks like a straight line (of course, it could also be that this reduction is so small that is not visible on the chart)
