China is not rapidly de-carbonizing. They've put off even starting to transition to clean energy by 15 years and they lag behind the other nations. They shouldnt be where the US is as the US has done an awful job. They should be where the EU is.

In 2025 China installed more solar than the US has, and almost more than what the EU has in total. About the same for wind. So yes they're doing it an extreme pace compared to US/EU as we're comparing 1 year to what the EU/US has done for decades.
ok and in 2025 they installed more coal than the US and EU has in total whats your point?
That your initial point is wrong? They are installing massive amounts of renewable.

Not sure what your point is, just posting lies?

They are installing some renewables and some non renewables. The scale of the non renewables is far larger than their non renewables. The damage being down completely outweighs the solar they've installed. Its good they're finally starting to do something but its about 15 years to late.
Yeah that would be great. At least they're doing it now, can't say the same for the US.
The US has been on a far better environmental trajectory for the past 15 years than China. Since the first climate change conferences emission growth has been significantly reducing compared with china significantly increasing. Thats with 8 years of trump.
