Just listened.

Good to hear some pushback against China's attempt to hold CO2 emissions as a political lever. We'll see how the follow through is on that.

China is targeting peak CO2 emissions in 2050.

It's no surprise that the country with nearly 20% of the world population has the most renewables. They also by far have the most coal power plants. I'm confused if we give them the green ribbon award first, or the black ribbon award.



The other random thought I was surprised to have while listening is that perhaps it's appropriate that our political elites are multi-millionaires. I wanted to die just listening to them recount meetings with other politicians, so there's no money in the world that could motivate me to do that as a job.

The other thought I had is that I will make an effort to read through the latest IPCC report rather than rely on the interpretations of chief priests and clergy. I thought I had downloaded it a couple months ago...
