Do you really think Russia, China, India or developing countries are going to stop using fossil fuels if we stop?

If the west de-industrializes then our enemies will destroy us... Russia's literally invading Europe right now (albeit poorly).

Check current renewal deployment figures, China is actually at the forefront, and India is taking the "right" path.

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.

		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

Yeah they will, its literally cheaper now.

China and India are installing crazy amounts of solar. I don't know much about Russia.

India is doing industrialisation via solar. Massive solar arrays on top of factories and warehouses.

How the heck is installing solar panels to generate green electricity de-industrilaize?!

Also India is building worlds largest solar park of 30GW
