When did the author make this claim in the first place? It's nice there is lot of material but how is it relevant when it doesn't rebut what the author wrote.
The author claimed "China promised its total emissions would peak by 2030 — an ambitious goal for a rapidly industrializing economy. It is running at least a decade ahead of that goal." This statement is patently false and easily disproven -- by just about every source available that studies Chinese CO2 emissions.
