Coal emissions, and coal as a proportion of total power generation is going down, not up, because these newly commissioned coal plants are replacements for older, dirtier plants that no longer meet China’s pollution regulations.
China is adding an absolutely ludicrous amount of green energy to their grid per year.
It went down before too…… and then it shot back up to all time high levels.
The proportion of power that coal makes is irrelevant when they’re still increasing coal use. Just because solar if increasing faster doesn’t mean coal is dropping. You don’t open a hundred new coal mines a year to use less coal o.
I know Lemmy loves communism, but even you guys can’t try and defend Chinas emissions as anything other than disastrously high if you think the climate is changing. They’re literally the main cause of it if it is carbon emissions caused.
It’s genuinely hilarious how you project your irrational propaganda-brained hatred of China by accusing leftists of defending your imaginary coal increase.
You genuinely think people don’t notice what you’re doing, don’t you?
The further and further you move the goalposts, the more you reveal your feebleness.
Curious how you only firehose hearsay and have not a single time addressed the actual points and refutations that have been given in response.
Now you’re reached the point where you’re literally just saying “yeah it’s decreasing now but it will totally increase in the future!” Lmfao
That’s the thing about reality. Facts don’t give a fuck about your feelings.

I have zero hatred for China, what are you talking about?
Chinas emissions decreased 1% a year once and you’re proclaiming they’re an electric state 🤣
They are building a hundred coal mines a year. Fact. Facts don’t give a fuck about your feelings 😘
