Comment on China renewables capacity additions soared in 2023, growing more than four times faster than the G7

I read it. You’re wrong. Increased renewables production is the only thing that will help. And their renewables increase is far outpacing their increased demand for energy.
Are other countries expected to de-industrialize for climate change, or just China?

I never said deindustrialise or anything. Any country increasing their fossil fuel production isn’t good, but it is well known that China is the one with the highest amount. I don’t see how increasing renewables will somehow decrease the amount of greenhouse gases when both are increasing.

It produces so much because so many countries outsource their manufacturing to China. To lay that solely at the feet of China, and not the countries outsourcing, is a completely dishonest take.

They are both at blame. The country for outsourcing and China for taking up the request
