One forecaster says that China might reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 0% from today's levels by 2030, significantly overachieving compared to its goal of continuing to increase them until then.
Which would unironically be very impressive, though we'll see if they manage.
At once very impressive and so completely inadequate as to be almost entirely useless. This is the pace we're going at when we haven't even got near the difficult part that will come when the low-hanging fruit is gone.
