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
