Even so, coal use is still rising in absolute terms. Output from thermal power plants increased in the first half as electricity demand grew, partly driven by high-tech manufacturing, electric-vehicle charging and data centers. Coal’s share fell as cleaner sources expanded even faster.

So things are still getting worse, just not at the rate that they would have.

I suppose standard of living and power consumption per-capita are correlated. At least they’re making an effort to be better citizens of Earth instead of externalizing the all the costs.

That's capitalism, always have to expand to stay succesful. China produces what the rest of the world demands.
