One of the major stumbling blocks to existing international efforts to phase out fossil fuels, like the COP climate summits, is that they have to get agreement from everyone present, even OPEC countries. This is effectively a veto, and has been slowing down progress.
Now, 60 countries are moving ahead, this time without the veto blockers. Also, they’ll move beyond COP’s remit, which was the reduction in fossil fuel use, to discussing how to 100% end fossil fuel use.

sorry yes. that’s on me. these are all issues i have with china’s government. they are ultimately a ruling class that exists to enrich an oligarchy. all of these things are bad. from my american perspective, they are bad for evil reasons, not for incompetence reasons. these are all desirable policy choices for the Chinese state.
it’s just my government is both evil and incompetent.
Rather have an incompetently evil government, can you imagine how bad it’d be if they were good at anything?
