* Cut GHGs to 7-10% below peak by 2035, "striving to do better"
* Raise non-fossil share of energy to at least 30%
* Boost wind/solar to 3,600GW
@Kaetchi @drsimevans Maybe, and I appreciate that in the climate question they are doing the right thing. But he's still a dictator (panda is not meant as a positive characterisation).
@cweickhmann @drsimevans I was only focused on the climate question 😬
@cweickhmann @drsimevans somebody pointed out most chinese leading politiicans were engineers or science based, in the west often law etc 🤔
