Is not gonna happen anytime soon. There are just too much poor countries. And with all the wars and conflicts going on, is nearly impossible to end fossil fuel. And the middle east literally depend on that to survive. Except oil, they have not much else to offer. Too dry and too many desert . Not to mention just switching cars to electric is already a nearly impossible task. Because of cost. How many low and mid income families would be willing to buy a electric car and give up their current one?
And green energy isn't a stable energy source. For example wind energy and solar panel rely heavily on the weather. In winter, people freeze themselves to death if they rely on these.
I am not trying to pour cold water on these activists intentionally, but in my opinion this problem isn't gonna be solve for a very long time. Especially not when nations now are suffering from inflation and cut backs because of economic losses.

No. Human activity produces 100 time more carbon and other greenhouse gasses than all the volcanos in the world.

Mauna Kea is 4207 meters above sea level. Mauna Kea is about 4082 meters above sea level. Both peaks have snow every year and blizzard conditions on them are not unusual due to their great height. What is unusual is the lack of snow in the lower 48 while Alaska and Hawaii have snow. Denver has had no measurable snow this winter, a first for this far into December.
