BREAKING 📣 For several days, a peaceful protest took place in the morning, after a young child was killed by a car driver. The child was riding his bike to school, the father with him. The grieving community came together with hundreds of people, cyclist or not, creating a 3km long human bike lane.

When will this remarkable growth in sun and wind powered electricity start putting a dent in total GHG emissions? From all the other charts on rising temperatures and risks by @zekehausfather.com it seems we need more of an abolition than a transition.

We designed our cities and lives around cars, promising efficiency and freedom. Instead, we got traffic, stress, and lost life. The car promised autonomy, but it actually made us dependent, deprived, and ill.

Lets play pick your favourite picture... so solar capacity is bigger. What about generation? What about coal generation actually falling as fast as solar capacity increase? Solar capacity growth shows that solar industry is busy, but unfortunatly it doesn't necessarily equal falling emissions.

Energy supply is entangled not only materially but very much politically. It makes these apparent pardoxes of the energy transition possible when the share of renewables grow in parallell to the absolute capacity and generation of coal power in China.

This is way it is never the "new normal" even without tipping points. Emissions adds up syncronized to the energy additions in society. What we might see by 2030 is that the last decade was beyond some tipping point driving even faster acceleration.
