As I'm absorbing these ideas, I'm dying to know what you make of two results from the IEA report recently released:<br /><br /><br />1. Even with the global economy expanding almost 3%, global emissions held steady in 2019.<br /><br />2. By 2050, energy-related carbon emissions will be only 4% lower than 2019 levels largely because energy demand will "outweigh improvements in efficiency". - This seems like an acknowledgement of the Jevons paradox.<br /><br />Thank you for all your hard work.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436476533006718902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4268081350629009912.post-80246011621230915722020-01-01T13:32:26.726-08:002020-01-01T13:32:26.726-08:00Writing is torture.
