      Are you just throwing out theories or are you being it on something?

        Just theories based on the fact that the manufacturing sector in China has been hit hard over the last 2 years with key companies pulling out. This is well understood and is accelerating which surely means less manufacturing less emmisions.

          Did you read the article which actually explains why this is happening? They’ve massively increased their renewables.

            I am not refuting the article, I am just pointing out that the reduction in emmisions may also be attributable to the lower demand in the manufacturing sectors. There is a lot of propaganda in these sorts of claims in all countries and all want to seem like green heros when at the end of the day the total global emmisions just continues to go up. Maybe 2023 will actually see its peak, but it is not looking that way.
