Don’t worry, the cramming of AI into every product is already turning around the declining gas/oil industry. We’ll be increasing our emissions in no time, solar be damned!

Pepperidge Farms remembers that the US wouldn’t ratify the Kyoto Protocol over fears that if they they did, China would take over economically using dirty fuels.
Chinas economy is stagnating. China built so much real estate they could house 3 billion people. It was 30% of their GDP and it’s the biggest bubble humanity ever seen. Now that it’s bursting and overall car sales are declining in China, that is the real reason emissions are dropping from China. Ev is a drop in the ocean
Looks like that one anti China account is already trying to spin this as a bad thing with the same copy pasta they’ve been posting everywhere.
What do any of the comments in this thread have to do with the article? This is great news.
The fear mongering by the US has caused China to become a global leader in world dynamics. The average poverty of the world has gone down. If you take China’s contribution out of the equation, poverty has gone up. If you take China’s contribution out of emissions, global emissions have gone up. It’s time to stop with the racist rhetoric and actually work together with people who want a better world. And we need to fire the people in power who would rather see the world burn rather than lose their profits.
Considering China is the Biggest Emitter on the planet, any decline there would have the most impact on a global measurement: [https://www.visualcapitalist.com/carbon-emissions-by-country-2022/](https://www.visualcapitalist.com/carbon-emissions-by-country-2022/)
