Ignoring that this chart is designed to minimize the scale of the problem, it doesn’t convey “progress being made on climate change” to me, rather “we’re still making things worse, but marginal progress might be realized in the future so long as no big emitters reverse course on policy”.

It’s not all doom and gloom though. The dip during Covid actually gives me hope. Hope that climate change will soon enforce upon us a systemic collapse on such a scale that we have no choice but to transform our society into one focused on community and wellbeing.
