Last year global temperatures were 1.6°C over the pre-industrial average, the first year to breach the 1.5° goal.
"One or two years that exceed 1.5°C above the pre-industrial level does not imply that the Paris Agreement has been breached. However, with the current rate of warming at more than 0.2°C per decade, the probability of breaching the 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement within the 2030s is highly likely."

“Economic growth no longer linked to carbon emissions in most of the world.."
Oh really?
1) Emissions of greenhouse gases are still rising
2) The degree of decoupling is far from enough
3) for the United Kingdom, the reduction 2015-2023 was -18.41%, average
-2.51% per year. To reach net zero emissions by 2050, an annual reduction of 10% is needed.
4) Those decoupling countries are not compensating for the growth in emissions elsewhere.

Streamingplattformen haben kaum Schweizer Filme im Angebot. Diese machen weniger als 3% der Filme und rund 2% der Abrufe aus. Dennoch ist ihr Publikum in absoluten Zahlen stark gewachsen: Zwischen 2023 und 2024 gab es 7-mal mehr Abrufe, und dies obschon das Angebot an Schweizer Filmen auf den Streamingplattformen innerhalb eines Jahres um 2% zurückging. Das gesteigerte Interesse fokussiert sich dabei auf einige wenige Grosserfolge.
