Emissions increased rapidly in the 1960s and 70s, then again in the 1990s and early 2000s. But in recent years this growth has slowed down a lot. Emissions barely increased at all from 2018 to 2019. And they actually fell in 2020 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. I’m optimistic we can peak global emissions in the 2020s.
Fails to acknowledge economic slowdown that lead to decreased activity/transport/production that would otherwise emit, which would thus contradict earlier perspectives on degrowth
