I’m so fucking :doomer: and while I know it’s a coping mechanism I fail to argue against it.

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

    Small in terms of international power. When is the last time China imposed its will? That is the measure of power at the end of the day. Making somebody who is wrong act right.

      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.
