The atmosphere doesn’t care about uplifting people
For sure, but it may be species-ist, but the whole point of caring for the environment is to give people a better future …. Compared to giving people a better future
China can get accolades on decarbonizaion, when it actually de-carbonizes
Progress is good, even if we don’t yet meet necessary goals. The point is they’re ahead of what they committed to. That’s a good thing. We’re not. That’s not good
Maybe, but these graphs only go up to 2021 while the article is current data. It matters in this case. Why is there 300 years of data charted when only the last 100 matter at all, and recent changes will be invisible?

Cool! Feel free to present your own more recent carbon emission data. Please cite your source too.

Err…because the last 300 years represent they years following the Industrial Revolution and the only carbon humanity was emitting prior to that was camp and cooking fires and perhaps the a village blacksmith’s forge?
Here’s one from April with a very relevant chart showing US progress to date, including projections, showcasing good climate change progress we’ve made in recent years while also making it clear we’re nowhere near our commitment

Those people will NOT HAVE a better future with climate change.
There is no progress. China’s carbon emissions are greater year after year. There IS NO reduction. That isn’t progress. That is regression.
Look at the graph. The rest of the world is REDUCING carbon emissions. China (and India) are increasing.
They’re ahead of what they committed to but they keep increasing carbon emissions? How are you possible able to see that as a positive thing?

Here’s a bunch more recent climate accolades China deserves, regardless of other failings

And here’s the exciting one discussing whether Chinas emissions have already peaked years early, or may be about to
And of course the challenge that we’re already entering the risky area of climate change that we tried to avoid
