This is great, now the curmudgeons of other countries can stop using “what about China” as an excuse for their backwards climate attitudes.

Good. With China being the biggest source of co2 emissions in the world, at 28% of global emissions as of 2020, this means that the faster they get their shit together, the longer we have before the doomsday clock ticks midnight.

Here we go. Chinas economy is slowing down and it is finally happening. That hopefully means we have had peak emissions globally.

China being the way it is makes me doubtful. I wouldn’t hold my breath but if or when it happens or works it’ll be a good start.

The wording I noticed is that the headline says ‘new electricity demand’ which may or may not be meaningful to offset enough waste. So at the end of the day, we’ll see.
