zero, or rising
emissions to 2100 and then a drop to
zero, or
emissions falling to
zero tommorrow, or something along these lines.

emissions by -141 % from 1990 levels by 2025.
For instance the following illustration prepared by EcoEquity and the Stockholm Environment Institute shows that the US fair share of global

emissions reductions in other countries by 2025 despite achieving
zero emissions by 2020.
