Which sounds impressive, and it is, but I think there's slightly less there than meets the eye. Their GHG emissions appear to have peaked in the mid-1970s, when it became apparent that coal just wasn't going to work any more. They had been burning vast amounts of coal. So while 1872 may sound like some kind of rural, idyllic paradise, the country was choked with smog, literally killing people. Still, progress, and trying to do more. Many countries reduced GHG emissions by switching from coal to natural gas, but they now need to switch from natural gas to something carbon-neutral.
