Shrinking? China is growing their coal capacity (1). What people mistake is China is not "for renewables". They are for maximizing absolute output. That means they are "for everything"

China ist still adding coal plants but their capacity factor is falling.

In fact Chinas emissions have probably already peaked.

I didn't mention any shrinking. I just said we'd passed the CO2 per capita peak.

This means for any human being we are emitting less carbon than we use to. It's not a big win but I'll take any good trend at the moment.
