Almost one year ago I wrote a post about this famous graph.

I decided to build an interactive alternative that is more transparant and can be easily updated with more recent data: https://mishathings.org/co2-graph

Yet today I found myself wondering: do we actually expect this graph to change over time?

This led me to quite a rabbit hole. I invite you all to come have a look: https://mishathings.org/pages/co2-graph-ratios.html

Or, if you are not in the mood for math or python, read the summary: https://mishathings.org/posts/2024-08-12-how-much-co2-has-been-emitted-in-my-lifetime/ )

The bottom line is this: my new updated graph will only start to tell a different story from the original one, if we manage to bring down the annual growth rate of our CO2 emissions.

So please help me make my new graph useful, by breaking the system that causes the emissions to go up with a steady 2.84% per year.
