Isn't it strange that (almost) everyone is committed to the climate targets in the 2015 Paris Climate Accords, but fossil fuel production is still increasing worldwide?
What does this imply about the seriousness of efforts to stop global warming?

"Climate change isn’t an ‘issue’ to add to the list of things to worry about, next to health care and taxes. It is a civilizational wake-up call. A powerful message — spoken in the language of fires, floods, droughts, and extinctions — telling us that we need an entirely new economic model and a new way of sharing this planet. Telling us we need to evolve."

Hopefully there will be no 'back to normal' in this year
but the beginning of a BIG CHANGE to the better!
Otherwise global warming, the loss of biodiversity, new pandemics and the destruction of all our vital, natural resources will proceed far too fast ...
An immediate measure would be if the price of every product also included the cost of its ecological impact during production and transport.
This would put the brakes on excessive consumerism and all producers would have to think about more environmentally friendly and fairer production methods if they still want to sell anything.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Good luck for COP 26 beginning in Glasgow tomorrow
and that it will have better results than just more 'hot air'
and the further formulation of noble goals that no one is seriously trying to achieve ...
