Glen, with respect, your framing above is a material misrepresentation of the @matthewgburgess.bsky.social et al. preprint, and the Substack post. The snippet you quoted is used to illustrate a specific feedback loop, not to argue against reducing emissions.

There is an argument that CO2 per unit GDP has not accelerated in 50 years (top left).
This term is made of two componets:
