A community dedicated to chronicling and spreading the word about positive actions, solutions, and policies being enacted to try to slow or prevent catastrophic climate collapse. We explore strategies and solutions for solving global warming, mitigating and preventing its deleterious effects, and protecting the environment, animal life and human life from it.
Rules:
- Kindness Always
No name-calling, trolling, ad-homs, personal attacks, strawmanning, or disrespectful or abusive behavior toward any other member.
- No Bigotry
This should go without saying, but any homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, racism/sexism/any kind of -ism is not allowed. “It’s just a joke” is not an excuse. Any sort of needling to try to convince the mods or anyone else to accept such behavior, or enabling or defending such, is not acceptable either. Breaking this rule will result in a ban on first sight.
- No Spam, NSFW, Or Other Disruptive Content or Behavior
Please respect our community and don’t use it to post spam, porn, gore, or any other disruptive content.
- On-Topic Only Please, No Doomerism, No Anti-Climate Rhetoric
All posts must be evidence of or related to positive actions, policies, and solutions to climate collapse. No doomerism or anti-climate rhetoric allowed; if you think climate change is not man-made or is not really happening, this is not the community for you. This sub is a positive, supportive place and giving into fear and despair over climate collapse is unhelpful and dangerous for people's mental health, so it won't be allowed here. This is humanity's greatest challenge and so we all need to band together and be there for each other as we fix our broken planet.
- English Only Please
Posts and comments must be in English only so they can be properly moderated.
Note: failure to abide by the rules may result in a ban depending on severity.
Rules subject to change based on community need.

This means literally nothing, but when I cropped the image to ~2023 and presented it to Claude, then asked it to extrapolate, it was even more generous.
I'm not a .ml shill, but you gotta admit that china has a good influence on the global market for green energy. They're flooding the market with cheap solar panels. They're building massive wind farms and solar farms at a dizzying speed. They are leading by example. It sure seems nice to be able to just decide to do stuff without months or years of bureaucratic bullshit beforehand or pesky labor laws. There's a lot of things wrong with china, but there's also good things. It's almost as if things are not simply black and white.
They are also flooding markets with cheap(er) EVs. Unfortunately governments are doing what they can to make those more expensive through tariffs and import controls.
Per capita is dropping like a stone but overall emissions are increasing, unlike in the UK who is lagging behind their 2030 goals but emissions are dropping at a good rate.
