I think we're doing too little too late, honestly. It might not be a "doomsday scenario" but shit is going to get rough for sure. We haven't even started slowing down the rate of change yet. There are going to be huge changes even if we were to completely drop fossil fuel usage today, and that is obviously not what's happening.

"We haven't even started slowing down the rate of change yet."

Can you share a source? I'd love to be wrong about ominous shit.

Well, the US has gone down a bit

I honestly can't find a source. I swear I heard somewhere that the rate at which emissions were increasing was going down.
