Decarbonisation jumps back up again! Ready to retaliate…

...Economic Growth looks ready for whatever Decarbonisation tries.

Looks like we’re in for a long fight folks! I’ll be surprised if we have a victor by the end of the night!

Economic Growth makes a surprising recovery and strikes Decarbonisation with cutting down forests to make space for some shiny new factories!

Decarbonisation falls heavily against the ropes and struggles to get up… Less trees leads to more carbon being released into the atmosphere!

Decarbonisation strikes first with encouraging people to eat less meat to reduce carbon emissions. Economic Growth takes a heavy blow, less people eating meat means less people buying meat! Economic growth in the meat industry starts to decline and he is knocked to the floor!
