So my water chemistry professor was lecturing us about climate change, and said
"By the way, China is set to reach its 2030 carbon reduction goals in around 4 years." Which is the first time I've heard a professor say anything about China that wasn't red scare paranoia.
A student said incredulously, "How?!?!"
The professor just shugged and said "I dunno, ask them."
I fought the urge to explain how.
Communist planning and a high value placed on educating people and the science sector babyyyyy.
Which is wild because they updated the schedule to “China is reaching their 2030 carbon reduction goals in July 2024” earlier this month.
nice
Maybe they said they were going to be carbon neutral by four years. My memory sucks.
