> CO2 emissions have been dropping substantially for some time

Context? You mean in the US? Or Globally? Or just per capita? My understanding is that CO2 emissions continue to increase overall.

Yep, they're definitely still rising, despite a slight drop in 2020 (thanks, COVID). Not sure there's any point in talking about per-capita emissions. That US emissions have been falling since ~2007 (and China appears to be leveling off) is some reason for hope but the likes of India, Indonesia and other large developing nations are more than making up for the difference.

The link is US. Yeah worldwide it’s still increasing.
