What it says is China bamboozled Paris.
Stop spreading FUD, this is a serious discussion.
If you don't have anything to contribute pls. don't do it here, there's enough other places on the internet where you can troll to your hearts' content.
Let me briefly explain my question again:
- China never promised/pledged to reduce their emissions as fast as it rose, to the contrary, they said it would still rise (allthough the actual data show a plateau)
- The Paris accords projected the collective emissions to allow the temperature rise to remain below 2 degrees
- This article now claims the Chinese need to drop as fast as they rose or otherwise the 2 degrees cannot be met
So my question is what new insights does the article Alan linked to use to come to that conclusion, or are they wrong? The article doesn't give any insight to how they got to this conclusion.
