Please read carefully what I wrote—I am talking about energy consumption worldwide not electricity consumption in the EU. Electricity in the EU accounts only for a small percentage of carbon emissions.

As you can see, solar energy is still a tiny percentage of total energy sources. I don’t think it is an accident that the electricity split graph in the EU has been cited in this discussion because it is a proxy that is much more rose-colored.
Energy and electricity are often conflated in discussions around climate change, perhaps not coincidentally because the latter seems much more tractable to generate renewably than total energy production.
