Xi is pushing climate, study shows

Enabling climate acceleration are economic sectors such as land use, China coal, Saudi Aramco, Coal India, Gazprom (Russia), National Iranian Oil — in that order.
Since 2021, China coal sends more carbon in the air than NATO equities and Arab states combined. The China coal sector is increasing capacity and is delivering 12.7 GtCOe in 2024.

    Not to mention they’re installing more solar than the rest of the world combined. They’re definitely putting effort into transitioning.

      Yeah, the only reason coal emissions are going up is because they’re growing too fast for even renewable energy buildouts to match increasing demand, so coal is their only option to keep up with power and steel production. The alternative is to slow development, and they’re understandably not willing to do that with the US breathing down their necks and India right next door growing just as fast.
