. . . in what way has it changed increasing GHG levels?

Oh, that's right, it hasn't. At all.

And the marches, and the protests and the peacefully assembling for redress of grievances and letters to Congress and the political contributions and the meetings and phone calls, and the technology and the deregulation and the concerts and the innovation and the promises and the greenwashing and the lies and the PR campaigns and the charismatic speakers haven't worked either, for going on 30 years now.

Meanwhile:

1995 annual mean - 360.97 ppm CO2
2022 annual mean - 418.56 ppm CO2

Not that I think what they're doing is going to help either, but maybe, just maybe these numbers might have something to do with their motivation.
