C — no impact; levels are increasing.
Atmospheric CO2 concentrations continue to rise (hitting record annual and monthly highs in recent years) despite rapid growth in renewables. Global CO2 emissions showed only temporary dips (e.g., 2020) and have largely rebounded; deployment of green energy has reduced the rate of growth in some places but not yet produced an absolute, sustained decline in atmospheric CO2. CO2’s long atmospheric lifetime also means reductions in emissions take time to show as lower concentrations.
