Lol, did someone in this thread say GDP was the one true metric? No.

And relying on rate of change is still relying on CO2 as the only metric to look at. Its not:

CO2
GDP
Methane
Human mobility
Rate at which renewables are adopted

And probably 10 more all should impact the actions of individuals. But they cant as long as the simple think they should force people to do things (or prevent them from doing things) by force.

Not even real scientist look st only one metric.
