Great news! China’s CO2 emissions have been flat or falling for past 18 months
“China added 240GW of solar capacity … and 61GW of wind, putting it on track for another renewable record in 2025. Last year, the country installed 333GW of solar power, more than the rest of the world combined.”

This strong collection by @jidesalawu.bsky.social arrived in my life today. If you haven’t read Jide’s work yet, I encourage you to dive in! He writes of migration, the leaving and the waiting and the loss. He writes of a broken and exploited homeland, one that sings through him onto the page.

The Japanese word “tsundoku” describes the secret habit of acquiring books and then letting them pile up without necessarily ever reading them. I plead guilty! For some, just possessing a book is sometimes enough (AP Photo/Petros Giannakouris)
