Let’s just share wholesome happy things in this thread.

        China, despite being 17.5% of the world population, controls 28.4% of worldwide industrial production. If 28.4% of worldwide industrial production became carbon neutral, that is an incredible change. And the fact is, China's share of global production increases by about 1% every 2 years. Going forward, it isn't completely impossible that their share would be so enormous that they can single handedly dictate climate policy for much of the world's industry based on economics alone.
