I wonder if most of the 4.2% rise is AI training and inference.

Maybe China is in an economic slowdown, so its economy cannot afford to buy as much coal from Australia and petroleum from the Gulf as it used to.

Or, hear me out, they don’t need to buy as much since they are producing more electricity themselves with their renewables.

That is possible, too.

U.S. Emissions Rise 4.2%, China's Fall 2.7%
