Great work China! Emissions peaked and falling

[JDs Couch]

China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months, analysis reveals, adding evidence to the hope that the world’s biggest polluter has managed to hit its target of peak CO2 emissions well ahead of schedule.

Rapid increases in the deployment of solar and wind power generation – which grew by 46% and 11% respectively in the third quarter of this year – meant the country’s energy sector emissions remained flat, even as the demand for electricity increased.


China added 240GW of solar capacity in the first nine months of this year, and 61GW of wind, putting it on track for another renewable record in 2025. Last year, the country installed 333GW of solar power, more than the rest of the world combined.

The analysis by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (Crea), for the science and climate policy website Carbon Brief, found China’s CO2 emissions were unchanged from a year earlier in the third quarter of 2025, thanks in part to declining emissions in the travel, cement and steel industries.

Celebrating this is like congratulating a serial killer for decreasing the stab count on their latest victim

Given that over the last 40 years, the West outsourced virtually all of our manufacturing - and associated transport and shipping of raw materials & finished goods - this is actually astounding.

It shows what can be done with the political will and determination. And the absence of anti-science dickheads.

The United States has the highest total historical carbon emissions, responsible for roughly 25% of total global emissions since 1751, while China is the second-largest contributor. Other major historical emitters include the European Union, Russia, and India.

Go CHINA!

No.1 in innovation! Techology! Education! You name it!

The planet's new SUPERPOWER!

Go Xi!

We've never doubted where your allegiance lies you fuckwit. Careful though, I'm sure they don't look too favorably on lying sheepfuckers

Yay, Chinese propaganda.

That country doesn't care about the environment, only dickwads like you believe otherwise.

China’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions were unchanged from a year earlier in the third quarter of 2025, extending a flat or falling trend that started in March 2024.

The rapid adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) saw CO2 emissions from transport fuel drop by 5% year-on-year, while there were also declines from cement and steel production.

The new analysis for Carbon Brief shows that while emissions from the power sector were flat year-on-year, a big rise in the chemical industry’s CO2 output offset reductions elsewhere.

Other key findings include:

Power-sector CO2 emissions were flat in the third quarter, even as electricity demand growth accelerated to 6.1%, from 3.7% in the first half of the year.
This was achieved thanks to electricity generation from solar growing by 46% and wind by 11% year-on-year in the third quarter of 2025.
In the first nine months of the year, China completed 240 gigawatts (GW) of solar and 61GW of wind capacity, putting it on track for a new renewable record in 2025.
Oil demand and emissions in the transport sector fell by 5% in the third quarter,

Yeah, because we believe what the Chinese tell us.

I am sure you are as dumb as you look.

Have you ever seen a hollywood movie where a Chinese person gets punched in the face?

You won't.

How do you feel about the government being up and running again?

@JDs Couch So you're admitting you're from the west?
