Fossil Fuel Emissions Climb Despite Renewables, but China's Growth Stabilizes

TL;DR Summary
Global fossil fuel emissions are projected to increase slightly in 2025, but the growth rate has slowed over the past decade due to a boom in renewable energy, especially solar power, which is helping to stabilize electricity sector emissions. While this offers hope for curbing global warming, current policies suggest that warming could still reach 2.6°C by the end of the century, highlighting the urgent need for more decisive climate action.
