    Not that the line starting to go down would represent positive progress on climate change. It would mean only less new damage with every passing year, a smaller progress in worsening the catastrophe that’s already well in motion. But the fact that the line isn’t even going down illustrates the catastrophic absurdity of claiming that we’re making tangible progress with existing policies.
