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.

There are 4 roughly equivalent components to America's increase in energy use:

- population & GDP growth - increased A/C usage - AI/bitcoin/data centers

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