China is heading towards peak coal demand, national association says
China Coal Group Says Peak Demand Imminent as Clean Power Grows
In a major turning point for the world, China’s fossil fuel use is projected to decline starting in 2025.
Blaming an increase in the rate of carbon increases on China's coal consumption seems rather incongruent with the facts. Are we all choosing to ignore the second-order effects of methane emissions from natural gas? Methane does break down back to CO2, after all, but while it's still methane it's a substantially more potent greenhouse gas.
Fuck. Natural. Gas.
Additionally, Chinese coal power is what provides and enables all of the cheap goods Americans can't get enough of.
