Between 1990 and 2021 the behemoth known as global civilisation only reduced its fossil-fuel diet from 87% to 83% of total energy consumed worldwide. Let me spell that out. We shaved off 4% in the last 30 years. In the next 30 we need to shave off 83%.

The Model Y was the best selling car[0] in the world in Q1! Isn't that a positive fact :)
Six Flags in California now has solar installed at 2 of its theme parks, offsetting 3000 homes worth of electricity! Isn't that a positive fact :)
