Misleading headline, but good that they are making the effort.
Considering they produce 1/3 of worldwide carbon emmisions, itâs only right that theyâre making more efforts to improve
Itâs a daft way to compare renewables anyway as it doesnât take account of the size, resource or populations of the countries.
If you look in Europe, the leading nation is Albania which is all renewable electricity: I think completely hydro, which is great if you can do it.
There are other statistics in the article which show the picture:
âElectricity generation from coal and gas dropped by 5% in China in July, year on yearâ
If they can achieve an annual reduction of 5%, it would be globally beneficial.
âLast month, solar and wind capacity outstripped Chinaâs coal-fired electricity capacity. By 2026, solar power alone will surpass coal as Chinaâs primary energy sourceâ
This is also good news for the environment worldwide.
Itâs a good way to show scale though?
Something to bear in mind for our overseas members who consume BBC content.
Itâs sad that theyâre not just selling their reputation like this, but so cheaply.
Holy crapâŚCanadian forest fires in 2023 emitted more on their own than all but 3 countries; China, India, and the USA
If you chop down all the trees then you wont get any more forest fires and youâll have addressed your carbon emission issue and reduced smoke pollution.
you may well laugh, but i bet you someone will come up with an aparatus that replicates the trees role to play in the ecosystem (on only about 2 of 300 metrics) and us Humans will go to town carte blanche on natureâŚ
its only because we need it for something that we havent decimated nature completelyâŚ
imagine if we didnt need it for anything tangible and chopping down trees solved âthe cost of living crisisâ for the next four year cycleâŚ
The typhoon currently crawling across Japan has been âsupercharged by climate changeâ according to some prof. from Imperial College London. "Without phasing out fossil fuels, the root cause of climate change, typhoons will bring even greater devastation to Japanâ, he said.
Apparently, the maximum wind speeds of this typhoon are estimated to be 7.5% more intense due to climate change. And another Prof., this one from Kyoto University, states that global warming has caused typhoons to âunleash more rainâ.
Sensationalist headlines?
28 degrees is not exactly a heatwave or a âscorcherâ is it?
1906, when global warming started taking effect
Tell me you donât understand climatology without telling me you donât understand climatology.
I didnt write the article.
Tell me youâre not a smug patronising twat without telling me youâre not a smug patronising twat.
Youâre the one who posted it here acting like itâs perfectly normal weather.
