Source snapshot — china-co2-peak story

The Global Carbon Budget 2026 projects that China's fossil CO2 emissions will fall 0.9% this year, after two years of almost no growth. Its range runs from a 2.6% fall to a 0.8% rise, and twice since 2015 a fall it projected for China turned out to be a rise, so one projected fall does not establish a peak.
