Greta
The silence from Greta has been deafening,
the world is so close to a world war that will
destroy our planet and she is still worrying about our carbon footprints.

// We have already achieved it. //
depends on your measure of achievement. not sure i'd agree that 41% represents total achievement, especially when that accounts only for the current usage of electricity, and doesn't factor in the extra electricity required to make all homes all-electric, or the extra electricity needed to charge millions of electric vehicles. and there's still no answer to the terraced house dweller's electric car charging conundrum, if they have to park 500m from their house, and a host of other issues that still have no solution.
we are years away from an end to reliance on Russian fossil fuels.

We do not have any reliance on Russia. We buy 4% of our gas from Russia, usually for a brief time during the winter peak.

The 2020 figure does. What our future needs will be, and how much future renewable energy will be generated, is unknown.

As opposed to discussing deleted comments ad nauseam, which doesn't derail any threads at all...

It may or may not be a contributing factor, but on the other hand there are plenty of other reasons. For example, other sites have since sprung up with offer a similar service with a far larger userbase; this site's demographic skews towards older people (and is relatively UK-centric at that); several sub-communities on AB seem to have just become smaller naturally anyway. On the latter, when I first joined this site it was specifically because of the Listener Crossword discussion, which regularly attracted 80-100 comments a decade ago but now seems to have dwindled to the teens -- I don't think I myself have posted there for about six years, so it's not entirely due to members moving on altogether, but as far as I'm aware there are basically as many Listener solvers today as there were 10 years back, so it's simply a change on what websites people use.
And, besides, some of the loudest moaners about aggressive moderation on AB remain among its most active!
