We are doing a lot. Almost 90% of electricity capacity added last year was renewables. Nearly 1 in 3 cars sold are now EVs. The world is spending over $2 trillion every year on low‑carbon energy investment. Solar and wind have already avoided more than 2 gigatons of CO2 being added to the atmosphere. In the US, the IRA will drop emissions 40% to below 2005 levels.

What do you mean we are doing nothing?

		We are still building renewable energy even with a stupid government because it's now cheaper than fossil fuels in many markets.

That's added capacity. Fossil fuel use is at an all times high. Everything else is meaningless.
