And again, that’s perfectly compatible with CO2 emissions going up. Different stats, different things.

The only reason to care about renewables is if they prevent climate change. Why am I supposed to be happy solar panels exist, if CO2 emissions are increasing?

Because those are two separate parameters. Less solar panels don't mean less CO emissions, they mean more. You are cutting down on one metric even if you're not reversing the trend.

That is an absurd question, by the way. Why are you supposed to be unhappy we're making more solar panels in this scenario? What is the downside?
