The chart for anyone who doesn’t want to visit Axios:
Ignoring that this chart is designed to minimize the scale of the problem, it doesn’t convey “progress being made on climate change” to me, rather “we’re still making things worse, but marginal progress might be realized in the future so long as no big emitters reverse course on policy”.
