Can someone tell me good news about climate change action? Real, tangible, good news. Not that politicians have signed papers or that some Western countries grow without increasing fossil fuel consumption (usually because industry is outsourced to non-Western countries instead).

Just... Are we on track in any way at all? Globally speaking.

Solar is now the cheapest form of electricity.

@Sandra yes, but does that mean we're burning less fossil fuels? :/ afaik a lot of fossil is burned to manufacture solar panels, and solar is primarily used to *add* more energy generation rather than replacing existing.

@tinyrabbit

If you want me to talk pessimistically and jevons, I can endlessly. But that wasn't the request 💁🏻‍♀️

We have our work cut out for us to fix this 🌍🔥
