it might look completely different and way better in 2024 and we're currently only having a temporary skewed statistic

The graph in the blog post does not suggest that. Sure it may very well fall next year, but not by much. Also, $7 trillion is just so much money. To put that into context, a quick search suggests ending world hunger would cost $330 billion. In total, not per year.
