In June 1979, atmospheric carbon stood at 339ppm, just below the 350ppm level scientists believe to be safe. In 2021 the world emitted 36.4 I had to wait 37 years of my life until the world finally agreed to a global climate deal with the Paris Agreement in 2015. Today that number is 420ppm and rising.

Russia provided around 45% of the EU's total gas imports in 2021, followed by Norway (23%), Algeria (12%), the United States (6%) and Qatar (5%). With the measures in the REPowerEU plan, we could gradually remove at least 155 bcm of fossil gas use, which is equivalent to the volume imported from Russia in 2021. under the U.S.
