Canada still has eight years to achieve our 2030 climate target. But rising emissions over the last two years look like they’ve already pushed it out of reach. That’s because we are now at a point where each wasted year makes the remaining task overwhelmingly larger. Have we already run out the clock on climate hope in Canada? Take a look at these five charts and decide for yourself.

1. The rapidly steepening path to Canada’s 2030 climate target.
2. How huge our needed cuts are now.
3. Another way to visualize how improbably huge our emissions reductions need to be.
4. The paths our peers in the Group of Seven (G7) have taken.
5. Add in each nation’s 2030 climate targets.

We certainly know what we need to be doing. We just refuse to act — year after year, decade after decade.
