    Denmark has certainly led the way on electricity, but its total CO2 has barely changed since 1990 once aviation, shipping, imports & exports are taken into account. Just shows how far we have to go & how consumptions levels & distribution are pivotal to addressing climate change.

    Not quite. 11y until our global carbon budget - to stay below 2° warming - is most likely used up. A narrative based on fear is not helpful. Every fraction of warming averted is invaluable. Even beyond a worrisome 2°.
