Emissions plunge. For now.

From a Twitter thread by Bloomberg Green:



The sectoral breakdown is interesting:



The interesting point from the second chart is how much transport emissions have fallen.  Over the next decade, emissions from power production will decline sharply, simply on cost grounds.  And if we could transition land transport to cars with electric motors, we could substantially decrease global emissions.  As I've said before, they don't even have to be full EVs: hybrids will cut emissions by 40-50% and plug-in hybrids by 80%.
