Back in 2020, Trump's "history of promising a health care plan that never comes" was already a punchline. In June 2019, for example, he said, "“Yeah, we’ll be announcing [a "phenomenal" health care plan] in two months, maybe less.”

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