The fact that not only is the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is still increasing, but the *rate of CO2 increasing* in the atmosphere is still increasing is true nightmare stuff.
“[Last year] CO2 in the global surface atmosphere increased by 3.5 ppm, the largest one-year increase since modern measurements began... This increase was driven by continued fossil CO2 emissions, enhanced fire emissions and reduced terrestrial/ocean sinks… which could signal a climate feedback.”

Puh, die Argumente im Wahlkampf waren auch schon mal besser: Wer ein Aus des Verbrennermotors fordert, ist gleich ein "Autofeind". Ist wer Ampeln für sinnvoll hält, auch ein "Verkehrsfeind"? Wer Torf in Blumenerde verbieten will, ein "Gartenfeind"? 🥱
