Sums it up nicely: Bill McGuire: “Smoke and mirrors: 37 bt out of 40 bt tonnes of CO2 emitted in 2023 due to burning FFs, but - like every COP beforehand - @COP29 pretends this isn't happening.”

Instead of rushing the study on the environmental, climate, and national-security impacts of LNG, making the permitting pause permanent before Trump takes office, Biden is spending his time making sure that the sweet, sweet methane keeps flowing smoothly after he's gone.

Catastrophe.
Biden officials ask EU to align methane rules with US to ease LNG flows

Combining the slower growth in fossil CO2 emissions & slow decline in LUC emissions, means that total CO2 emissions are close to a plateau over the last decade.

Though, with a rise in fossil emissions & forest fires partly fuelled by El Niño, total emissions are estimated to rise 2% in 2024.
