- China, the world’s largest carbon emitter, increased the electricity generated by burning coal last year and is working to bring a large number of additional coal plants online, according to a new report.
- “An increase in China’s coal power capacity is not compatible with the Paris Climate Agreement to hold warming well below 2 °C,” wrote the report’s authors.
- At the same time, global investment in renewable energy fell.
I don't know if the reader gets the Paris goal, but the 160 plus nations involved are committed to reducing future warming projections to a number that equals the projected high minus 2 degrees celcius . . . . . 100 years from now.
