Reply to comment by OriginalCompetitive in The emerging climate tech sector will enjoy an 8.8 % growth rate over the next five years: tech companies that remove/reduce CO₂ emissions are “poised for strong continued growth,” reaching an expected value of $1.4tn by 2027 by climeworks

I mean…those figures seem pretty insufficient given the state of things, no?

Sure. But there’s a big difference between not there yet and “we’re not getting anywhere.”

It also depends on how long you’ve been following climate change. I’m old enough to remember when US emissions were skyrocketing. So it’s quite hopeful to see how much things have changed.
