    The atmosphere doesn’t care about uplifting people

    For sure, but it may be species-ist, but the whole point of caring for the environment is to give people a better future …. Compared to giving people a better future

    China can get accolades on decarbonizaion, when it actually de-carbonizes

    Progress is good, even if we don’t yet meet necessary goals. The point is they’re ahead of what they committed to. That’s a good thing. We’re not. That’s not good

      Those people will NOT HAVE a better future with climate change.

      Progress is good,

      There is no progress. China’s carbon emissions are greater year after year. There IS NO reduction. That isn’t progress. That is regression.

      even if we don’t yet meet necessary goals. The point is they’re ahead of what they committed to. That’s a good thing. We’re not. That’s not good

      Look at the graph. The rest of the world is REDUCING carbon emissions. China (and India) are increasing.

      They’re ahead of what they committed to but they keep increasing carbon emissions? How are you possible able to see that as a positive thing?
