Not to ruin it for anyone but the only reason is that solar is the cheapest option nowadays...
I hate China, but at times they do correct shit and because of the structure of the government it's almost always successful.
Wish they didn't have so much human rights violations.
I don't know what community to post this in either so I'm just gonna add it here, hexbear and Lemmygrad claim to be communists, claim to not be revisionists, claim to use materialistic dialectics, but have you ever visited their ProleWiki? Shit is full with contradictions, how are you gonna educate socialists when your own encyclopedia can't even get itself right? Actively denying reality is the opposite of what Marx wrote.
So, 350 million Americans managed to elect Trump. After 5 months, and him totally crashing the country, they haven't managed to stop him... not to hopeful about humanity's chances on stopping climate change 😢
Net doesn't matter. If we get net zero emissions, we're fucked.
We must get it to 0.
Yeah, but isn't net zero the huge milestone that's actually accomplishable in "our lifetime"*?
*on some self reflection and as a millennial, very net negative emissions feels accomplishable in my lifetime, so I suppose when I'm saying "our lifetime" I mean before the Boomers/Gen X die off.
Excellent news!
Now it’s on US deniers - we can no longer claim we shouldn’t do anything because China is not
I hate to be the bearer of unpopular takes but it’s likely a sign of a shrinking economy. That‘s something that won‘t convince any voters at the moment.
This is good news but I hate the title. It makes it sound like they are fixing more carbon than they are producing. Its more that its decelerating. Which is awesome.
Their emissions are lower. It's not just slower growth in emissions.
The reduction in China’s first-quarter CO2 emissions in 2025 was due to a 5.8% drop in the power sector. While power demand grew by 2.5% overall, there was a 4.7% drop in thermal power generation – mainly coal and gas.
This is catching up to Europe's FF use declines (10%+ in 2024) in power sector. The overall reduction in emissions isn't that big because China is doing something pretty crazy and highly emittive. It is making liquid fuels from coal. Geopolitics forces it to for independence.
Oh my, it couldn't be related to the US massively reducing their demand on the country's manufacture, could it?! If more people stopped demanding cheap, unnecessary, poor quality products with high environmental and ethical costs, maybe China's emissions will drop even further!
No its because many countries are slowly turning things around and the USA is not
Stable of falling for more than a year. us demand hasn'tbeen mattively reduced that long-
