You can look at the emissions growth of all the major emitters around 15 years ago and they're all slowing their growth and tapering off.. except china which is doing a hockey stick curve rushing to get as many coal plants down as they can.

Slowing the growth from a high level just means accelerating towards the point of no return, but moderating the acceleration.

It doesn't mean stopping before the point of no return. It means continuing towards the point of no return, and going faster, but not increasing the speed as much as before.

Blaming China here is disingenious.
