Some potentially good climate news: China's emissions may have peaked. This is important because they are the biggest emitter as a country, although not per capita (mostly oil producers and Gibraltar is higher than the US which surprised me).
And the rate at which they are deploying renewables is staggering - for context the 240GW of solar capacity is about 2.5 times the entire UK capacity across all sources.
