My takeaways were

1. Developed and developing countries reacted differently to different incentives. This to me is just another point where “the invisible hand” only works in certain limited cases. Markets are identifiable measurable systems. Not magic

2. It’s a mix, it needs careful monitoring and good across the board policy and industrial involvement - yeah. We need good government and good private sector involvement. So there goes the paddle just as we enter the brown looking creek …

3. Loving the graphics - Inwish Incoukd do that with matplotlib

There's a certain amount of irony and despair when referring to the invisible hand of a free market in the context of government and ngo interference therein...

Pure emissions measures that don't consider waste outputs seem to be woefully inadequate. Having study periods that end in 2020 seems designed to arrive at incorrect outcomes. And finally, leaving out ocean based emissions and total amount of waste and electronic waste generated by new schemes seems thoughtless.

Let's have a look at France's emissions :

https://ourworldindata.org/co2/country/france

Somehow, from 1973 they went from 10t C02 per capita to 4.8 t per capita in 2022.

Their GDP at the same went from 264 Bn to ~2779 Bn

Whatever mysterious method of C02 reduction they used should be investigated.
