Questions & Answers about È probabile che le emissioni globali diminuiranno.
Why is diminuiranno in the future indicative? Doesn't è probabile che require the subjunctive?
You are right that è probabile che normally triggers the subjunctive. However, because the decrease will happen in the future, we use the future indicative. Italian doesn't have a future subjunctive tense, so whenever a dependent clause needs to show an action happening later than the main clause, the regular future tense steps in.
