China drops carbon emissions, while western tech bros build more like they made a deal with the devil.
"China’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions fell by 3.1% in the third quarter of 2026, as the Hormuz crisis continued to hit oil demand and coal use also dropped.
The new analysis for Carbon Brief, based on official figures and commercial data, shows that coal use fell by 3% year-on-year in the third quarter of 2026, while oil was down 4%."

@gimulnautti @CelloMomOnCars remember 10 years ago when every argument about lowering emissions in Canada ended with the oil idiots saying “But it doesn’t matter because China”.
Welp….
