Here’s a bit of hope. Per capita carbon emission in the UK, now back down to 1859 levels. Work to do, but progress made.

@ianb I have some bad news about that. The UK population has tripled since 1859.

Emissions per capita is well known as a reliable whitewash for stats in Greenie circles because no-one really believes the size of population increase since the early 1800’s.

@pandanus of course! But population is hard to change quickly enough to make much more difference. Everything depends on moving per capita down. We won’t change anything unless we focus on it.
