Even if the world went net zero tomorrow, we would still see new heat records. The climate is like a flywheel on a car, it’ll take a lot if time to notice things slowing down and getting better even after we reduce emissions.
Things are slowly improving, and it’s likely we’re at the beginning of an S-curve when it comes to renewable energy, which should do some heavy hitting.
Even so, things aren’t moving as quickly as any of us would like, and that is depressing, but don’t lose hope, Juan. The future is not set in stone, and the more of us who keep pushing each other on, doing our small parts to help, in whatever way that is, adds up collectively and helps reduce the damage on the other end of that flywheel.
