    This is disingenuous. To lower atmospheric co2 we need to actively absorb co2 out from the atmosphere while the output of co2 is lower than the absorption. So to even see a progress on this chart we need to first achieve net zero.

    No, we would see an infection point on this chat if we were to make progress, even if we're not at net zero. The chart would at least be increasing at a decreasing rate, as opposed to the current trajectory increasing at a steady or even increasing rate.

    Actually, since 2020 the curve looks linear rather than exponential, which does match what he says on the video that we might have stopped increasing emissions year over year. Obviously this is not enough, but it is progress.
