World News@lemmy.world•COP30 climate talks end with more fizzle than bang as China, petro-states block push by EU and others to phase out fossil fuelsEnglish
5·20 days agoChina, India, and some petro-states blocked the exit road to end fossil fuels. The EU, most countries in Latin America, and some Island countries wanted to phase out fossil fuels. China doesn’t want that. The world’s largest polluters which has been increasing its emissions for decades and shows no signs to stop, has other plans. China wants to further pollute the world.
I mean, also, yes?

China (the world’s biggest polluter that has been increasing its emissions for decades with no end in sight and apparently no intention to even slow down its increase) and some oil producing countries are blocking the road for a fossil fuel phase out, but you’re criticizing others. Classic.

Australia’s reliance on coal-fired power drops to record low in early 2025, the country pledged to end coal consumption by 2038 or earlier (no, that may be not enough, too, but China, India, Russia & Co are not even close to this, and they do nothing that it gets better).

World News@lemmy.world•COP30 in Brazil fails to secure new pledges to cut fossil fuels - follow liveEnglish
5·21 days agoIt is noteworthy that a group of only 24 countries - formed at this COP 30 - will meet next April for a conference co-hosted by Colombia and the Netherlands to work on plans for a complete fossil fuel phase-out. Other participating countries include Australia, Austria, Belgium, Cambodia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Denmark, Fiji, Finland, Ireland, Jamaica, Kenya, Luxembourg, Marshall Islands, Mexico, Micronesia, Nepal, Panama, Spain, Slovenia, Vanuatu and Tuvalu.
It is these countries that are leading the way in the fight for a better climate.
The two largest economies and historical emitters, the US and China, were as conspicuous in their lack of impact during the COP30 as they were before. U.S. President Donald Trump declined to send representatives as the Washington exits from global climate accords.
And China has once again proven to focus more on its own interests in trade rather than stepping into a stronger leadership role in fighting climate change while it’s energy consumption continues to rise at a staggering rate. The country accounts for one third of the of the world’s total energy consumption, compared to a fifth 15 years ago, and is responsible for 90% of the increase in these emissions since 2015. China is portraying itself as a leader in climate policy, but when it’s leader Xi Jinping announced a decrease of over 7% by 2035 a few weeks ago, he carefully avoided specifying a baseline.
Researchers think that China’s NDC (Nationally Determined Contribution) falls short to limit global warming to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels, and striving to stay below 1.5 °C. As Lauri Myllyvirta, an analyst who has tracked China’s emissions trends for more than a decade, said in Nature, “Anything less than 20% is definitely not aligned with 2 degrees. Similarly, anything less than 30% is definitely not aligned with 1.5 degrees."
Myllyvirta also says that China’s announced emissions cuts — as 7–10% of an undefined amount, rather than specifying a year as the basis for calculation – leaves the door open for short-term emissions increases.
The different pathways for China to achieve carbon neutrality between 2030 and 2060 could result in different amounts of cumulative emissions, says Myllyvirta. “What matters for the climate is the total amount of GHGs emitted into the atmosphere over time,” he says, adding that this is why cutting emissions fast early on is important.
So we should not criticize Australia here, but rather China, the U.S., Russia, and Russia as it is them that opposed to phase out fossil fuels.

World News@lemmy.world•China's wealth, income levels of inequality surpassing much of Europe, resembling the U.S., study findsEnglish
25·21 days agoYeah, this is because China comes from an extremely low level, though. It doesn’t change the simple fact that there has been a sharp rise in income and wealth inequality within China as the ‘upper class’ benefited significantly more than the bottom half from Chinese economic policy.
Wealth is significantly more concentrated than income: the top 10% holds approximately 67% of China’s wealth compared with 41% for income. The top .001% owns 5.8% of China’s total wealth, which is roughly equivalent to that of the bottom 50%.

World News@lemmy.world•China’s Economy is Forecast to Grow Faster Than Expected in 2026English
4·22 days agoSure, ~5% annual GDP growth is the forecast the Chinese government has been making as this is the rate the Party needs to meet its goals, and Goldman Sachs has a strong presence in China (it’s among the few foreign banks in China with a license to sell funds, for example).
They are using official Chinese data btw.








I guess this is just saying that China is occupying parts of Russia.
