Oh dear - if global electricity demand is growing faster than the rate of new renewable installation, that means we're not solving the CO2 reduction issue at all?

Sadly we're not even close to reducing co2 output it is in fact accelerating, and I read that the amazon rainforest has become a net emitter of co2 instead of a sink. If that is true we are in big trouble.
