This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"

When Australian coal exports are burned overseas, they release around 1.15 billion tonnes of CO₂ a year.
We don’t count these as “our” emissions, but the atmosphere doesn’t care about creative accounting and excuses like that.
