I can recommend Not the End of the World: How We Can Be the First Generation to Build a Sustainable Planet by Hannah Richie if you want to see many long-term plots about pollution per country. The West is mostly decreasing emissions already

I wonder whether they are running out of money which then causes these things. Netlify used to be a very nice and unique service, but then came GitHub, GitLab and Cloudflare Pages who all provide roughly the same services for less money.

It's about percentages. If the CFO expects that the company can earn 10% on any capital, and they can borrow at 1%, then they will do that. In effect, this means that they will make 9% for free. Even more so, the CFO's bonus proba
