FantasticalEconomics, to climate

Not going to lie, I'm skeptical. Very skeptical. But there is a chance CO2 emissions will have peaked in 2023.

"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."

Regardless of if it actually happens, it is important to recognize the progress we are making, which are more rapid than most realize and many predicted. There is hope.

Unfortunately "green" energy isn't that green as we hope it would be.

Have a look at this for example:

An inherent part of the production of is the use of (and other sources of Carbon, like woodchips) to reduce the source material (Silicon Oxide) into pure Silicon, thereby emitting, you guessed it right, huge amounts of !

According to this chemical formula:

Si02 + 2C => Si + 2CO
