Check current renewal deployment figures, China is actually at the forefront, and India is taking the "right" path. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1MGJUaxQPk

  Both are still increasing their total fossil fuel usage significantly. Even if they're deploying renewables at a high rate. Both are also increasing coal usage. Total and cumulative numbers are all that matter for global warming. https://ourworldindata.org/fossil-fuels https://ourworldindata.org/fossil-fuels https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/coal-production-by-country?time=earliest..2024 https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/coal-production-by-countr...

    Thank you for the source, it's very interesting. I am a bit lost though: the first global graphic shows a depressing increase of fossil fuel consumption, but the detailed graphics after either show a stagnation or a decrease (must be centered on electricity generation I guess). The global picture seems very positive, reaching a plateau is a great achievement! Let's meet in 2026 to hopefully confirm this trend
