China announces plans to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday told the United Nations that by 2035, his country plans to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 7%–10% below its peak, and called out “some countries” for moving against the global clean energy transitionAlongside the economy-wide emission reduction goal, Xi said that within 10 years, China plans to increase its installed capacity of wind and solar power to over six times its 2020 levels. It also plans to boost the share of non-fossil fuels in domestic energy consumption to over 30%.

Verizon Remains On The Legal Hook For Illegally Spying On You And Selling Your Movement Data (For Now)
For decades, major U.S. wireless providers have collected sensitive customer movement and location data (often down to the meter), then sold it to a long list of random dipshits — usually without bothering to clearly inform customers or get their consent. Five years ago, this resulted in folks like stalkers and people pretending to be law enforcement abusing said data.

Scientists call for renewed global effort to curb fossil fuels as seven of nine planetary boundaries now transgressedJonathan Watts (The Guardian)
Failure is not inevitable; failure is a choice. A choice that must and can be avoided
Oh good, now all we have to do is urge our political and business leaders to sacrifice short term economy for a chance at planetary survival. I'm sure they'll do the right thing, if only they knew that we're all fucked if they don't.
Levke Caesar, co-lead of Planetary Boundary Science Lab, noted that it took a year for newly emitted gases to mix into the atmosphere, but a thousand years to settle into the ocean. “To be a good scientist, I have to take emotions out of work. Still, I would say looking at this data, when I allow myself to connect to it emotionally, then I am afraid. This really scares me,” she said.
I think it is time for scientists to be unapologetic about their emotions, what other time do we have? She is right to be scared, we all should be.
Summer 2025 is the warmest on record for the UK
Provisional Met Office statistics confirm that summer 2025 is officially the warmest summer on record for the UK.
Analysis by Met Office climate scientists has also shown that a summer as hot or hotter than 2025 is now 70 times more likely than it would be in a ‘natural’ climate with no human caused greenhouse gas emissions.
The UK’s mean temperature from 1 June to 31 August stands at 16.10°C, which is 1.51°C above the long-term meteorological average. This surpasses the previous record of 15.76°C, set in 2018, and pushes the summer of 1976 out of the top five warmest summers in a series dating back to 1884.
Met Office scientist Dr Emily Carlisle said: “Provisional Met Office statistics show that summer 2025 is officially the warmest on record with a mean temperature of 16.10°C, surpassing the previous record of 15.76°C set in 2018.
“The persistent warmth this year has been driven by a combination of factors including the domination of high-pressure systems, unusually warm seas around the UK and the dry spring soils. These conditions have created an environment where heat builds quickly and lingers, with both maximum and minimum temperatures considerably above average.”
1976, which had a mean temperature of 15.70°C, has now dropped out of the top five warmest summers since records began in 1884, leaving all five warmest summers having occurred since 2000.

China’s Renewable Push Meets Climate Reality In Africa: Environmentalists worry that Beijing is playing a double game that is harming Africa in its fight against environmental injustice
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/42785623
ArchivedChina is positioning itself as the world’s champion for renewable energy and has been heavily investing in the sector for the last 20 years. On the other hand, in order to support its renewables sector and consolidate the supply chain, it has also been financing mega-projects that exploit natural resources such as coal and oil — particularly in Africa.
Between development, dependence, and the energy transition, some environmentalists worry that China is playing a double game that is harming Africa in its fight against environmental injustice.
[...]
Some scholars have raised concerns that under the current model, large loans from China are further increasing its debt and putting some African countries in impossible financial positions.
In an analysis published in November 2023, Jana de Kluiver, a researcher specializing in Africa at the Institute for Security Studies, warned of growing concerns about Chinese loans in Africa: Research by AidData has shown that Chinese public lenders, motivated by profit, often include conditions in their loan agreements that can put a strain on already fragile African economies. These include bans on collective restructuring and strict confidentiality clauses. Such conditions can limit the ability of borrowing countries to make independent and sovereign financial decisions.
[...]
The numerous projects implemented with Chinese support have enormous consequences and local impacts. Massive population displacements benefit Chinese companies that set up shop to carry out projects. Deforestation and environmental degradation are detrimental to the livelihoods of local and vulnerable communities. Between inequalities and responsibilities, climate injustice is becoming increasingly glaring.
The FILIMBI citizen movement, a Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)-based pro democracy movement, spoke out against this dynamic in November 2024. According to an article by Projet AfriqueChine, the movement points the finger at Chinese illegal gold miners in the region for polluting the Arwini River in the northeast of the country.

Between promises of a greener Africa and the continued exploitation and use of carbon, coupled with the vulnerability of populations who, in addition to suffering the consequences of climate change, face social damage such as famine and lack of housing, the continent finds itself caught in the middle of conflicting interests.

China tries to mask its environmental destruction, control Scarborough Shoal with nature preserve
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/42722173
ArchivedCountries around the globe condemned China’s hypocritical plans for a nature preserve on Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea, where Beijing has wreaked environmental havoc with its artificial island-building as it seeks control over maritime territory to which it has no legal claim.
The Philippines faces constant coercion from China near the shoal and elsewhere inside its internationally recognized exclusive economic zone (EEZ). Beijing, which illegally claims most of the South China Sea, deploys coast guard, navy and maritime militia vessels to harass Philippine fishing, humanitarian missions, and routine military and law enforcement patrols. The aggression has continued even after an international tribunal’s 2016 ruling that invalidated China’s arbitrary claims to the South China Sea and found that Beijing violated Philippine rights to Scarborough Shoal.
Manila quickly denounced China’s declaration of an “island nature reserve” on the shoal. The move “is less about protecting the environment and more about justifying [China’s] control over a maritime feature that is part of the territory of the Philippines,” stated National Security Advisor Eduardo Año. “It is a clear pretext toward eventual occupation.”
[...]
Australia and Japan joined Indo-Pacific partners in calling for China to comply with the tribunal ruling, while the United Kingdom opposed “any unilateral activity that changes the facts on the ground and raises tensions in the South China Sea.”
Experts called China’s actions an example of lawfare — purposely misinterpreting the law to change the status quo — and pointed to Beijing’s history of causing environmental damage in the South China Sea.
“This isn’t environmental protection — it’s environmental lawfare,” Ray Powell, director of the SeaLight Project at Stanford University’s Gordian Knot Center for National Security Innovation, told the U.S. Naval Institute News. He cited “highly destructive methods” used by Chinese fishing crews and reports that Beijing has destroyed more than 1,800 hectares of coral reef in the South China Sea with its artificial island-building. The international tribunal also found that China harmed coral reefs and inflicted “irreparable damage to the marine environment.”
[...]
Beijing has long used encroachment in an attempt to exert control over its neighbors’ territory. Analysts say such gray-zone tactics — sometimes called salami slicing — are small enough to avoid a military response but accumulate to China’s benefit. Examples include:
- China’s aggressive interference with Philippine resupply missions to its military outpost on Second Thomas Shoal, which Beijing wants Manila to abandon.
- Beijing’s artificial island-building in the contested Paracel and Spratly chains. By militarizing the features, China hopes to establish de facto authority over economically important stretches of sea.
- Regular China Coast Guard intrusions near the Japan-administered Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea, an effort to challenge Tokyo’s control over the resource-rich territory.
- Fish farms and marine platforms that Beijing built without permission where its EEZ overlaps with the Republic of Korea’s in the Yellow Sea.
- Military harassment of self-governed Taiwan, which China claims as its territory and threatens to annex by force.
- Infrastructure projects Beijing has built along its de facto border with India and Chinese patrols into disputed territory, all aimed at asserting authority and upending the status quo.

How Bill Gates is playing both sides of the climate crisis – video

While he funds green innovation and talks about cutting emissions, Gates also invests in dirty industries such as coal, oil and private jets.

"In August of 2025, President Trump invoked Section 740 of the D.C. Home Rule Act, declaring a ‘public safety emergency’ in Washington, D.C after citing rampant crime. Under this order, he could place the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) under federal control for 30 days. Between August 11 and September 10, over 2,000 National Guard troops were deployed alongside local forces to patrol the streets. During this time, over 40% of the arrests made in D.C. were immigration-related."

linuxanza di emergenza nei momenti di peggior viaggio mentale (installo Linux in autobus perché Windows si è rotto)
In questi giorni si è verificato un meme molto conosciuto ma altrettanto sgradito, e cioè che ho scoperto che Windows 10 sul mio portatile è corrotto malamente, chissà da quanto tempo e chissà perché… È corrotto al punto che durante l’uso normale non si nota nulla di particolarmente anomalo, al di là delle solite piccole stranezze che non si capisce mai se sono di design o no (si sa che Microsoft non può mai e poi mai fare software 100% funzionanti, altrimenti nessuno comprerebbe più le versioni successive, e loro andrebbero quindi in bancarotta), ma certa roba a livello di sistema non funziona… e l’ho scoperto veramente a caso, provando ad installare l’emulatore di Android Studio, che però da un errore incomprensibile nell’attivare il servizio di virtualizzazione… mentre, provare ad attivare quello interno di Windows fallisce con un avviso per cui il registro di sistema sarebbe corrotto. 😐La cosa veramente merdosa però, e davvero non so come facciano pure i fan più sfegatati di Windows a non odiare ancora Microsoft nonostante questi continui avvenimenti (che capitano non solo a me in particolare, ma scommetto a decine o centinaia di utenti al giorno in generale, in diverse salse), è che il sistema è totalmente irreparabile. Ho provato ad aggiornare a Windows 11 dalle impostazioni, sospettando potesse essere in realtà un complotto per farmelo fare… ma, alla fine, ha preso e annullato tutte le modifiche, in culo al mio tempo. Ho pure provato a reinstallare Windows 10 da ISO, con l’opzione di non formattare, ma ha fatto la stessa identica schifezza… e quindi… 😭
Lo schifo di Windows meriterà forse un ennesimo suo approfondimento, ma il punto è: visto che non posso e/o non voglio formattare il disco, ma dovrei farlo se voglio riparare ‘sto OS di merda… piuttosto, ne ho liberato quasi metà e ho deciso di installare (in dual boot) Linussy, cioè Linux ma sussy. (Semplicemente Fedora KDE Plasma, nessuna distribuzione strana, però non farebbe ridere detto così.) Ok, il sistema operativo non sarà intrinsecamente sussy, ma il mio processo di installazione si, visto che, tra tutti i posti del pianeta Terra, è avvenuto proprio… in autobus (quindi, tecnicamente, in più posti contemporaneamente, che è doppiamente assurdo). Almeno, questa era l’idea iniziale, venuta un po’ per l’estremo potenziale memetico, e in altra parte per ottimizzare il tempo, evitando di privarmi del portatile nei momenti in cui poteva servirmi… 😤
Ovviamente, nemmeno i piani che faccio per ridere vanno mai a buon fine. Avrei dovuto fare questa cosa ieri mattina, ma ho dovuto prima perdere tempo a comprimere la partizione NTFS per ricavare spazio utile dal disco… per 2 volte, perché farlo da Esplora Risorse non ha sortito effetto alcuno (…però il tempo me lo ha sprecato tutto… oh, va bene il registro corrotto, ma a me questa installazione sembra proprio affetta da una maledizione…), e quindi ho dovuto poi farlo di nuovo da riga di comando (e lì ha funzionato). Da ieri mattina, allora, sono arrivata alla sera tardissimo, e ho quindi dovuto di nuovo posticipare il momento Linux in sé… a stamattina, con una nuova fresca occasione autobussiaca. Beh, stamane mi sono ricordata che la mia chiavetta con Ventoy era mezza sfatta, vedendo che la ISO di Linux scaricata la sera prima non si avviava, e ho dovuto perdere altro tempo… a copiare tutti i file dalla pennetta al PC, formattare la pennetta, e ricopiare tutto sopra; l’intera mattinata di lezioni (ma nel mentre il computer era operativo, chiaramente, quindi non un problema). 🥱
Alla fine, sembrava che l’installazione vera sarebbe avvenuta nell’autobus di ritorno di oggi, ed ero così vicina a vedere ciò essere il caso… ma, purtroppo, rimpicciolire la partizione di Windows per fare spazio per Linux ha impiegato praticamente l’intero tragitto, e quindi alla fine dei conti Fedora si è installato quando io ero già bella a casina, a pranzo. Però… nell’autobus ho avviato il sistema live di Linux, e anche l’installer, pure se intanto ho dovuto perdere tempo con il gestore delle partizioni, quindi… si può dire che, almeno a metà, ho effettivamente installato Linux in un pullman??? Se si, questa cosa fa così tanto utente Linux che credo di meritarmi sticker gratis, o qualcosa del genere… 😈
Comunque, appurato che Fetora funziona, finché non escono problemi non farò nessun aggiornamento di sistema, mai; aggiorno solo le app (rigorosamente Flatpak) e vedremo se, in questo modo, finalmente avrò un sistema Linux desktop che non si spacca puntualmente da solo con il troppo uso… anche se, venendo da Windows su quel portatile, che si spacca puntualmente da solo con il troppo uso pur senza fare aggiornamenti, forse non dovrei lamentarmi comunque. (E a parte tutto, sono stata relativamente sculata in questa impresa, perché il portatile acceso nel mio zaino con la chiavetta inserita c’è entrato a filissimo… altrimenti, dovendo scendere dall’autobus erano cazzi, perché ovviamente non potevo interrompere la modifica delle partizioni a metà. Anche questa, però, è linuxeria.) 👌👌👌
(P.S., dedicato a chi non crede nella mia potenza… Anche se purtroppo non si vede benissimo, dai bordi delle foto si nota l’ambiente autobus; godete, è tutto reale!!!)

The rescue team called the phone back, and Hind answered, telling them that Layan had been shot and killed, she had been injured, and everyone in the car was dead. She said she could see the tank and that it was getting closer.

Her killing made global headlines after a recording of her call with Palestinian emergency dispatchers pleading to be rescued was posted online.
On January 29, 2024, the car Hind was in was shot at by the Israeli military, killing her uncle, aunt, and three cousins. Relatives called the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) in Ramallah seeking help.

in reply to RunJun • • •Heh. I'm reminded of the story of what happened when Donald Sadoway was pitching liquid metal batteries to the US Army. He was asked what would happen if a sniper were to put a .50 BMG into one of them. His response? "Well, it'll leak a little inert non-toxic metal and then self-seal whereupon it'll just keep working".
...We still don't use those for reasons I cannot fathom, despite them being literally cheap as dirt and perfect for grid-level storage.
Every time somebody talk about renewables, some twat also goes "but what about storage?" and has me screaming "WE'VE HAD THE PERFECT SOLUTION SINCE 2009, GOD DAMN IT!".

in reply to Korhaka • • •I'm not sure who downvoted you, but China's carbon emissions p/c have more than tripled this century, and for only two years (up to 2022) in that period have they been less than the year prior, and even then, by tiny amounts.
Plenty of countries have worse figures (including the US, Canada, and Australia), but unless the trajectory has changed notably since 2022, it doesn't paint a pretty picture. The US has dropped by a third in the same period, though it's much too high.

in reply to egrets • • •Probably because while change over time is important, it's a trickier metric to cross compare.
For example, at the beginning of the century, their per capita emissions were low and also, nearly half of the population was in extreme poverty. So while we can balk at the tripling, it seems unfair since the competition was already high and mostly due to people living it up.
To say China is doing worse than the US because they went up while the US went down, well the per capita for US is still 50% higher than China in absolute terms. Now the UK can claim that in absolute and relative terms they are doing better.
Though even then you have some hiccups. UK emissions per capita are down and are really low compared to China numbers, fantastic. How much, however, is due to outsourcing the ecologically inconvenient manufacturing to nations like China? If the contribution of imports added to things, how does the picture shift?
On the flip side, the focus on per-capita in the name of fairness also unreasonably gives a pass to huge polluters in China. If a heavily polluting endeavor sets up shop in china, no big deal, they get to just divide their impact by 1.4 billion to not seem so bad, even if the portion of population pertinent to their stuff rounds to zero. So I wonder how much of that ecology impact is actually concentrated among a lot less rosy small population rather than just the consequence of improved quality of life for an average person in the nation.

in reply to jj4211 • • •Solid response, thanks. FWIW, I wasn't trying to suggest that the US is doing well in this regard, just that someone could read the headline and assume that China could reasonably be considered a green country (so to speak).
Regarding the UK, it's certainly true that domestic manufacture has nearly vanished in the last 50 years, so while a reduced dependency on coal, stricter rules on vehicles, and other similar factors are probably important, I agree that they're also likely not the only type of change that affects this – and if so, that really represents the carbon pollution moving elsewhere, as you've mentioned.

this wasn't an argument. you said something stupid, I called you out for it. instead of criticizing the western world for doing _checks notes_ fucking nothing about climate change, you're going after the country investing billions into the climate for no other reason than you don't like the government.
Warl0k3
in reply to _cryptagion [he/him] • • •I'd be criticizing western countries if this article had been about the western world - but it's not, so that's not really relevant commentary. If I showed up to say something like "why aren't western countries doing better" it would be a valid point, but would absolutely not address the issue - that china is in no uncertain terms absolutely failing the environment. Trying to deflect that with accusations of racism is... transparent, at very least because you have yet to address the criticism but only the form my argument takes.
Why are you so biased that you can't even accept criticism of a group you support might be legitimate in an article explicitly about the actions of said group? People from the US do that all the time, what makes China special?
_cryptagion [he/him]
in reply to Warl0k3 • • •ok, I didn't even read further than that in your comment because it's obvious you did not read the article at all. even the headline itself should give you a fucking clue, but the article heavily relies on comparing China to the US. you would have known that if you had bothered to get over your knee-jerk reaction long enough to actually read it.
Warl0k3
in reply to _cryptagion [he/him] • • •Sigh. 4 out of 13 of the paragraphs in that article are about trump's behavior and there isn't even a mention of another country besides the US and china. Kinda hard to criticize what just isn't there (at least, if you're arguing in good faith...)
Shockingly you continue to not address the criticism, just the form of the argument. I can't imagine why that would be.

ah, yes, the good old "you support the CCP because you criticized the US" line. you aren't half as clever as you think you are, liberal, or you would know I'm banned from .ML and Hexbear and my whole post history is me shitting on tankies.

in reply to _cryptagion [he/him] • • •Oh you know what, you're absolutely right. The article (ten more paragraphs!) wasn't loading due to their godawful... comment widget? I'm not sure what happened there. BUT I'll amend my prior claim since Brazil is in there too! And while hardly a western-aligned country, and I am deeply skeptical of their ability to follow through on their claims, I'll give them credit for thumbing their nose at both the US' and China's utterly pathetic showing with those climate targets. Here's hoping they can stick to them, and that COP30 will follow in their example.
Hardly an article relying on contrasting the US and China, though I suppose quoting Xi that much really does throw some spectacular shade by putting trump's whole... thing... as contrast.
Uhm... no, I just think you're arguing in bad faith. That's been my whole thesis, and it's maybe worth introspecting that you've directly jumped to being persecuted for supporting china instead of the thing I keep criticizing you for.
_cryptagion [he/him]
in reply to Warl0k3 • • •Wrong again.
Listen, it’s never gonna work out between us if you don’t even read your own comments. But I’ll give you credit, that’s the first time I’ve seen somebody strawman their own arguments.
Warl0k3
in reply to _cryptagion [he/him] • • •Let me know if you ever wanna respond to the substance here (to reiterate: criticizing china is absolutely warranted, especially in light of how much better Brazil is doing) instead of issues to take with the form of the argument, it'll be interesting.
Bud that's the whole point here - you're supporting the group (edit: in this case the CCP) by rejecting legitimate criticism with bad faith meandering (accusations of racism and classic whattaboutisms). Despite your presumed personal position you 100% are supporting the utterly pathetic chinese environmental goals here.
_cryptagion [he/him]
in reply to Warl0k3 • • •Did you ever wonder why everyone else in the comments is congratulating China? It’s because the rest is us don’t see an article about how China is doing the best out of all the countries in the entire world, and automatically go “hmm, it’s China and they’re authoritarian, so it’s not good enough”.
Of course they could do better. You can always do better. The rest of the world could do better. The point here is nobody else is doing anywhere near as well. You chose to focus on criticism because you do t like the politics of the nation leading the pack. China hasn’t even reached their goals, which again you would know if you read the article. But even their meager progress is far better than the goals the US has set, which is to go backwards and adopt more fossil fuels, cutting out as much renewables as possible.
So yeah, I’m supporting the progress China has made in reducing their dependence on fossil fuels. Any progress is progress, and they have more progress than anyone right now.
Warl0k3
in reply to _cryptagion [he/him] • • •You're trying to misrepresent reality again - go look at the comments (of which 1/2 are now just us two bickering); and fully 1/2 (7/14 (excluding us two), of the (as of posting) 28 total comments (including us two) (edit: this is confusingly worded, I apologize)) of the other comments in this thread are critical of the claims, most of those criticizing how sorry this promise is from China. You can't just assert easily-verified falsehoods as truth and then claim some kind of victory from that (despite that practically being codified US policy at this point...).
I chose to focus on criticism because they are leading the pack, and their efforts are sad, much like a great many other people in this thread are doing. I suppose a case could be made for that to include their politics, since politics shapes policy, but that'd be a kinda pointless semantic argument to make. My criticism of China has nothing to do with my distatste for the CCP directly and everything to do with them being the #1 global emitter of greenhouse gasses, and then even in lip-service planning to do the barest minimum. I'm not criticizing the US right now because the US is not the leader of the pack, or even relevant in this discussion (beyond being the #2 emitter).
To put in context something, this year if China's planed 10% reduction had gone through instantly at the start of the year, they would still have produced more than double the greenhouse gas emissions of the US. THEY HAVE TO DO BETTER. We all do, yes, but THEY ESPECIALLY have to do better. It ain't fucking racism to criticize the #1 culprit for choosing a target that barely does anything.

in reply to _cryptagion [he/him] • • •China is ahead of the US, behind the EU and many other (Western and non-Western) countries (with almost no country or bloc is on track to reach the Paris agreement targets). These are simple facts. As the world's largest polluter, China should do much more than it does, but it seems there is not even a willingness to do so.
I won't comment on your accusation of being biased. I am not long here on Lemmy, but the reaction here if and when you criticize China is often weird. It's certainly not all, but some people appear to be personally insulted if you just say something critical of this regime. That's often not a sane reaction.

in reply to Anyone • • •do you have any data newer than 2023? because if you look at the per capita greenhouse gases in 2023, china is only at 32/33 and usa, canada, russia, australia etc. all have much worse pollution,
and i would like to know please, what statistics you are basing it on, that china is behind the eu, because at for me it feels like china is atleast trying to do a lot, while from the eu countries i only ever hear complains about having to do anything for the enviroment, which only gets worse by this right wing people popping up everywhere.
i would like it very much to be convinced that the eu countries are actually doing anything.

in reply to Corridor8031 • • •Not just emission but a broader picture of climate actions:
- USA - critically insufficient
- China - highly insufficient
- EU - insufficient
These are the largest emitters, you'll find all others on the site.

in reply to Anyone • • •humanspiral
in reply to Anyone • • •First, most credit should be based on recent years. You can only ask for relative progress, meaning improving year over year from recent progress instead of going from 0 to 100% renewables by tomorrow.
EU has greatest success in recent years in terms of emission reductions, but only because their energy growth has been slowing. China has much higher renewables growth from a much higher renewables base, but their emission reductions are more modest because of massive energy growth relative to massive manufacturing growth. At the same time, any growth rate at all from here is going to lead to massive emission reductions in upcomming years, just as it can continue in EU.
Trump's UN speech is desperate extortion/war cry on EU and world to end breakthrough dead ender energy extermination on the cusp of clear human victory path.

I find it bizarre to do a remote video attendance to an in-person meeting like that. I hate it when they plan that sort of thing at work. Whenever I am part of that sort of planning, I try to make a 'remote half' either before or after the event and an 'in person half'. It's just seems disrepectful to make a whole bunch of people travel and then waste some of that time listening to a person speak remotely that they could have listened to anywhere.

in reply to ZeroCool • • •One thing i've come to understand is that america does not at all seem to care even the slightest bit about having a future. Which, in my opinion, is super weird because it says in the bible (that the christians revere so much) that "when your messiah comes [for the second time] and you happen to have a sapling in your hand, plant the sapling first, then go see the messiah". Which means, especially if you consider it to be the "end times", that doesn't mean you should just not care about what happens after. You should still plant the tree, even if it takes 20 years for it to grow up and produce meaningful amounts of fruit.
But i guess something about wanting to have a future is "communist" or something.

in reply to ZeroCool • • •These are absurdly modest goals considering that their previous 2030 pledges are on track to be achieved by 2027, and these 2035 goals by 2028. All of these goals without any growth in renewables, just continuing pace. They (or I guess someone else) would literally need to nuke their solar production plants from orbit to fail on this track.
Unclear why make such modesty. Invite US to think more fossil fuel investment is smart?
