    Sounds great, right? But all he did was set a goal. Are we making progress to that goal? 🤷‍♂️ Is that goal even achievable? 🤷‍♂️ 2030 is only 6 years away, how are we doing right now? 🤷‍♂️

    These are all questions that have quantifiable answers yet you chose not to find those answers. Perfectly encapsulating the point of OP.

          “Mild weather decreased emissions from the residential and commercial sectors” - Not policy related.

          “Industrial CO2 emissions remained unchanged in 2023 as industrial production growth slowed” - Growth slowed, but emissions are unchanged, meaning we would have had more industrial emissions if growth had not slowed.

          “Transportation sector emissions remained unchanged between 2022 and 2023, as increased consumption of some petroleum products offset decreases in others”

          Six years to go! Answers are the same, no, no, and not so good.
