Bob,

The estimate is 2025 will see a global turning point in CO2 production going into decline.

The chart shows a wedge opening up as alternative energies particularly wind and solar become cost efficient.

It may, but I could also can see it turning up again with growth in India and, later, Nigeria.

As noted above, net zero is a long ways away.
