The mass of CO₂ humans put into the atmosphere in 2025 is 4x the mass of all plastic humans have ever produced.
Humans have emitted 2750 gigatons of CO2 since the industrial revolution from burning fossil fuels and land use change. To put this in perspective, this is more than the (dry) mass of all living things on earth and everything humans have ever built combined:

Capital flows to the energy sector are set to rise in 2025 to USD 3.3 trillion.
Around USD 2.2 trillion is going collectively to renewables, nuclear, grids, storage, low-emissions fuels, efficiency and electrification, twice as much as the USD 1.1 trillion going to oil, natural gas and coal.

He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care
This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person
