Continuing to insist on technological purity & policies that drive up costs, especially for the poor and vulnerable, but even for the tired and inflation-battered middle classes, is not a viable plan. Not any more. And that is why I'm calling for a #PragmaticClimateReset. youtube.com/clip/UgkxWJB...

Line chart – China's CO2 emissions are now 1% below their March 2024 peak: China’s emissions from fossil fuels and cement, million tonnes of CO2, rolling 12-month totals. Source: Emissions are estimated from National Bureau of Statistics data on production of different fuels and cement, China Customs data on imports and exports and WIND Information data on changes in inventories, applying emissions factors from China’s latest national greenhouse gas emissions inventory and annual emissions factors per tonne of cement production until 2024. Sector breakdown of coal consumption is estimated using coal consumption data from WIND Information and electricity data from the National Energy Administration.
