    What I’m seeing:

    The current trajectory is a downward trend, i.e. we are slowly going backwards (thanks to the orange turd)

    We are WAYYYY behind the targets that we should be at and planned to be.

    Not sure what’s positive about that.

        And they get upvoted for spreading gloom, we get downvoted for pushing back against blind negativity whatsoever. I’m having another “I should probably leave Lemmy” day

      Going higher (up) in the graph means more tons of carbon emitted, i.e. worse things done to the climate.
