    “Only”

    The fact that it’s set to decrease at all is basically a miracle.

    Plus, if we have another plague, it could decrease a lot. We don’t know if thats coming.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    LONDON, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Governments are making insufficient progress in slashing greenhouse gas emissions to avert the worst impacts of global warming, according to a United Nations report released Tuesday.

    “COP28 must be a historic turning point in this critical decade,” said Sultan al-Jaber, chief of the UAE’s state oil firm who will preside over the talks.

    That’s still far short of the 43% reduction against 2019 levels that the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says is needed to stay within the 1.5 degrees Celsius target envisioned by the Paris Agreement.

    “Global ambition stagnated over the past year and national climate plans are strikingly misaligned with the science,” said U.N. secretary-general Antonio Guterres.

    National plans saw a marginal improvement over last year’s ambitions, with emissions then projected to rise 11% compared to 2010 levels.

    What happens in China and the United States, the world’s two largest emitters, will be crucial for meeting global climate goals.
