This graph again, that astronomical climb is the Industrial Revolution. What isn't said about it is that it was a response to massive human problems, like disease, starvation, poverty, pollution etc. It changed everybody's lives. That's what's happening right now, with things like renewables. A new industrial revolution, in response to even bigger new challenges. The idiots who oppose the changes to protect 'the economy' (or because they think it's 'greenies') don't see that industrial revolutions are the only things that made 'economies' in the first place. Look at that flatline for thousands of years before the last one. Our economies are all flatlining again. We need the new industrial revolution, and even faster than the last one.
