The #OrangeLine is trending right now, @MassGovernor @CharlieBakerMA.

“The Global Carbon Project's annual analysis of emission trends suggests that CO2 will go up by 0.6% in 2019.

The rise is due to continuing strong growth in the utilisation of oil and gas.

Since the Paris agreement was set out in 2015, CO2 emissions have risen by 4%” - @BBCNews https://twitter.com/gretathunberg/status/1202532218150834178
