Although the US government is trying to persuade everyone that we will all be in good health. If we spend more time breathing on the way through the 1958 stupid roadmaster, the rest of the world is quietly moving forward to reduce carbon emissions. It may not be as soon as we hoped that when the world got hands in Paris and agreed to do something about the global heating system, but this is still happening.
India reduces its emissions
Carbon Brief Today, a new report has published that in the first six months of this year, carbon emissions in India have declined slightly, which is a trend upward, which was largely permanent for the past decade or more. India is now the most populous nation in the world and, like its neighbor – China – has tilted a lot of coal -fired thermal generation to advance its economy. In fact, according to Carbon BriefIndia has been responsible for a 40 % increase in carbon emissions since 2019.
The report states that “India’s carbon dioxide emissions have declined by 1 percent year by year in the first half of 2025, and in the last 12 months, there is only 0.2 percent in the second half-century.” “As a result, India’s CO2 emissions from fossil fuel and cement increased their slower rate in the first half of the year after 2001.
Other important results from Carbon Brief Reports about India which are focused on the first six months of 2025 include:
- The increase in clean energy capacity reached a record 25.1 GW, which was 69 % higher from the year, which was itself, a record data.
- It is expected that this new clean energy capacity will generate about 50 tirawat hours every year, which is almost sufficient to meet the average increase in demand as a whole.
- Gradually, the economic expansion means that the demand for oil products has increased zero, which is significant at 6 % in 2023 and 4 % annually in 2024.
- Government infrastructure costs helped 7 and 10 % steel and cement production, respectively, to accelerate CO2 emissions.
Although there is something to increase in renewable sources, it is cold, raining season in India this summer compared to the last year to reduce emissions in the utility sector, which reduced the demand for cooling.
Nevertheless, solar -powered large -scale solar projects dominate new installations with 14.3 GW capacity in the first half of the coming year and 3.2GW in the first half of the year from solar roofs. The second half of 2025 is expected to arrive online and another 16 GW of air. Carbon Brief They say that strong continuous growth in clean energy is expected as India moves forward with a target of 500 GW non -gambling fuel by 2030.
Australia announces new emission goals
Ten years after the Paris climate contracts, the world’s nations are preparing to share their latest exit data and climate action projects in the United Nations next week for the future. This week, the Australian government announced a national plan to reduce its emission by 62 to 70 percent by 2035, a plan that inflamed environmental groups, which claim to be bold. Business and commercial interests were also provoked because they think the project is very tough. In politics, if no one is happy, it shows that the leaders have done things right.
According to Australian newsPrime Minister Anthony Albani said the government has heard the advice of the climate change authority to set its target. The CCA said that even to reduce the 62 % reduction, there will be a need to double the sharp air, three times the massive solar and the solar in Australia.
“This is the right goal for protecting our environment, protecting our economy and jobs, and moving forward, and to ensure that we work in the interest of our national interests and the future generations,” he said. “It’s science -based, and it is free advice to the government.”
Treasurer Gym Chalmers said the government has modeling the economic impact of 65 % of the target by 2035 and has found that it will be much larger economy and more wages if the country failed to work. This modeling suggests that the real wages will be 2.5 % higher in 2050 and the real GDP per person will be $ 2,100 more if the target is not aimed at reducing the emission. “Under a mischievous transfer, there will be low wages and high electricity prices,” said Chams.
On Thursday, Albaniz made a new promise of $ 2 billion to promote the clean energy finance corporation and a $ 5 billion “Net Zero Fund” under the Government’s National Reconstruction Fund to help us to eliminate and measure industrial facilities.
Environmental groups said they were disappointed because they expect the reduction target at least 70 %. The Australian Conservation Foundation called the target “timid” and the Smart Energy Council agreed that 70 % should be considered the least purpose.
On the other hand, business groups warned against the target of more than 70 %, saying it would endanger the export price of hundreds of dollars. The Australian Industry Group CEO, Anis Volks, said it would be difficult to reach the target of 62 to 70 %.
“Although it is not straight to achieve, it is also possible,” he said. “We should not spend the next ten years discussing the limit of this target. We must move forward with sensible measures that make it more capable. “
Ten years after Paris
The 10 -year anniversary of the Paris climate is coming closer to the faster, New York Times Partner David Wales Wells tried to provide some views about the deal and then. On September 16, he wrote:
“The progressives have long been convinced that climate politics was a kind of war of war, in which many people would barely draw many people in support of the line. To some extent, this happened after Paris, the lawyers moved the Overton window very dramatic and made meaningful benefits.
“But it also looks a little as if they were dragged so strictly that they had fallen into disrepair. In the United States, the inflation reduction Act was praised as an unprecedented investment in the country’s green energy future. Today, only three years after the passage, it has not been a result of this, and the result of this is a great deal of scare. But panic was not born.
“And yet, there is a good news – world leaders are talking less about the risks of warming these days and the need to restrict it, but on the ground, but on the ground, it is still running after the decoration.” It is no longer about climate politics. “
What does this mean? Just this can we talk until we are blue about polar ice caps, surface surface rise, and extreme heat, but unless the tools to solve these conditions are not cheaper than usual, human civilization will continue to travel towards the abuses. Only the cold, clinical operation of Adam Smith’s “unseen hand” can save us. Fortunately, that’s exactly what is happening.
Although the Patients of the Holi Grill of Gyoshim Fuel are doing everything in their strength to distort their actions, in the end, clean energy will win because it is better, but because it is cheaper. Would this be enough for the same human beings from an undeniable destruction? Zen Master said, “We will see.”
