China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

No media about this?

The Minns and Albanese govts both exploited this falsehood to further their own agendas
