"fossil fuel burning would be declining. It is not"

Absolutely incorrect. Look at the last 10 years on the graph -- 2012 to 2022. It's happening, but as Prof. Dans states, "there are none so blind as those who won't see".

It needs to happen faster, but people like you are a big part of the reason it's not.
