One year in, U.S. climate law is already turbocharging clean energy technology:: In less than a year the Inflation Reduction Act has prompted investment in a massive buildout of battery and eletric vehicle manufacturing across the states.

Agreed. Until we see evidence of global cooling, I can’t imagine it’s being turbocharged.

I was under the impression that once carbon passed about 400ppm in atmosphere then climate change was irreversible. Which it reached a few years ago. It's a greenhouse gas so it lowers the rate at which heat escapes. We would have to start actively capturing carbon for global cooling to occur. Not just turbocharge clean energy. We could use 100% solar today and the planet would still get warmer
