1. Is that even enough?

2. Only?

3. My guess is they are using this as a way to become less reliant on other countries gas and oil in a approved manner while still remaining ties with those countries such as russia

4. Also worth keeping in mind that China seems to like to underpromise and over-deliver on targets like these.

5. I think it’s reasonable that china will overperform, should they continue decreasing from this year.

   I suspect there’s a positive economic tipping points with batteries to look forward to, if they can crack mass solid state batteries soon. Regardless, their residential emissions will drop from population decline alone, as there’s less people and if people move from old buildings with old heating systems to new. So I suspect a crash in emissions mid-century, but I should seek more data.

   I wonder if they will target methane-emissions as well.

6. And what was the guarantee on that? Will China self-destruct if the goal isn’t reached? LMAO!

7. It’s kinda funny that China announced this to the UN general assembly the day after Trump addressed the general assembly, where he went on an hours long incoherent tirade railing against renewables, claiming they don’t work and are too expensive, and calling climate change the greatest hoax ever made. Really shows you who the adults in the room are.

8. Planet moves forward while america whines like a baby that they want to go back to 100 BC and pollute murder and rape as much as they want.
