Just saw a cross-border #climate investigation tout that it included "reporters on almost every continent."
The missing continent? Amazingly, it was #Asia.
Only home to a majority of the world's population and >50% of #GHG #emissions.
Funny, China just seen to be completing building their newsest solar wind for 2030, five years early, bringing the levels of renewables to "greater than the rest of the world combined."
Is the "china pollutes more than us" the new best argument of the oil industry? Does it replace "its too late to do anything, give up" or "climate is a hoax!"
"China is set to shatter its wind and solar target five years early, new report finds"

@kevinrns China is also massively expanding coal, more than the rest of the world combined, while also massively supporting coal finance in SE Asia (including gasification in #indonesia
We must build the replacement for world destroying carbon fuels, we all must, as fast we can, as fast as Britain and FDR built tanks, to stop our last existential crisis, we must all build even faster than china, who just completed a massive renewable build five years early.
I'll bet you a tenner the next Chinese project building renewables will be larger, and faster. And again, thats what we have to do. Just like China, I agree, every country should build faster than China, even China
@kevinrns Building out renewables is a positive, but you must also be willing to criticize #China for failing to transition away from fossil fuels. China is, according to https://climateactiontracker.org/, lagging the #US, #Europe & #Japan and "highly insufficient" despite the renewable built out.
Anything to say about the fact that China's solar build-out is using forced labor of #Uyghurs? Or is "speed" more important than #humanrights?

@ncoca
I insist every jurisdiction, villages, towns, states, nations, multinational democracies to replace murderous crisis ensuring nation destroying child taking carbon fuels by building their replacement as fast as is possible, which is very fast.
Biden's offshore wind is welcome but it is FAR from enough.
We all must build as fast as ships for war. Demand it from every council and committee.
Or we wont make it.
