1. Independently verified?

2. >The new analysis for Carbon Brief, based on official figures and commercial data, leaves open the possibility that China’s emissions could fall this year.

   This is great, I think if China’s emissions go into decline, we have a good chance to also see them fall globally, as the other two major emitting blocks (USA and EU) are already in decline.

   >However, recent record-high temperatures caused emissions to go up in September and new government stimulus measures mean there is now greater uncertainty over the country’s emissions trajectory.

   Ouch.

3. Since when did we start believing the numbers coming out of China?

4. China’s EV sales are at 56% and the by far the leader in solar and wind deployment. China now uses less fossil fuels for electricity generation than the USA on a percentage basis. The clean energy gap will continue to widen between China and the USA.
