I foresee a distinct lack of fucks available at the highest levels of government. Nothing will continue to happen.

With perhaps one exception: that minority part of the ruling class that does believe in climate catastrophe might dig another level in their bunker.

Still, encouraging trends exist as well, mainly the rapid expansion of renewable energy capacity and battery storage. In 2025, for example, renewable energy surpassed coal in global electricity generation...

Yeah we're building out renewables like crazy but it's not resulting in greenhouse gas emissions reductions, because while renewables are meeting nearly all new demand, they're not replacing existing demand. So despite the fact that electricity generation from renewables is expected to increase about another 50% between 2025 and 2030, greenhouse gas emissions from electricity generation are expected to remain flat over the same period. Electricity emissions aren't going up, but they're not going down, either.
