    Meanwhile, China continues it’s record breaking coal use and Eastern China is on track to beat its own 2025 record of generating more than 50% of the worlds global CFC-11 ozone depleting gasses. Hurray China!

        Business goes to China when they want to kill domestic jobs and destroy the planet. China doesn’t care about workers or the climate.

        Lower only because it was taken away from them. Not really a win when it’s temporary, is it?

          Are you American or Canadian? Then you really don’t have the luxury to complain. Take a look at your own share of fossil vs renewables and weep because even “doesn’t care about people or the environment China” does it leagues better than you.

      The thing nobody wants to acknowledge and they are actively building more coal plants. ANYONE building coal plants for generating is a bad thing pretty much full stop.

    Go on.

    “Due to international markets…”

    Keep going.

    “As a result of… ongoing conflicts…”

    Almost there.

    “Because of Trump bombing Iran.”

    There you go.

      Don’t be intellectually lazy, China has been working on reducing fossil dependence for years. Not purely because of the climate, but because it’s a limited strategic resources.
