What are things looking like on the per capita greenhouse gas emissions front? Russian and the US are in a league of their own! (One slither of hope for the US a -1.2% 10-year average change) The EU is still above the global average but their 10-year average change is best in class at -2.9%

Data:

unep.orgEmissions Gap Report 2026UNEP’s Emissions Gap Report 2026: The point of return finds that with global temperature rise set to exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, urgent and stringent cuts to greenhouse emissions are needed to minimize the magnitude and duration of overshoot and return to 1.5°C by the end of the century.

And ICYMI: Why @jasonhickel.bsky.social now thinks capitalism can't save the climate. "The rich countries have dramatically overshot their fair shares of emissions and so they've effectively colonized the atmospheric commons for their own enrichment."
