World’s biggest polluter on track to hit peak emissions target early but miss goal for cutting carbon intensity

China’s CO2 emissions have now been flat or falling for 18 months.
The rapid adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) saw CO2 emissions from transport fuel drop by 5% year-on-year, while there were also declines from cement and steel production.
While emissions from the power sector were flat year-on-year, a big rise in the chemical industry’s CO2 output offset reductions elsewhere.

China’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions were unchanged from a year earlier in the third quarter of 2025, extending a flat or falling trend that started in March 2024.

Beim Schreiben neige ich (anders als beim mündlichen Brabbeln) zur Kürze. Aber zu Gabriele Mainettis neuem Film LA CITTÀ PROIBITA (deutscher Titel aus unklaren Gründen KUNG FU IN ROME <- ja, in englischer Schreibweise...) gab es überraschend viel zu sagen. Mein Text im Perlentaucher.

Maximal Subsemigroups of Infinite Symmetric Inverse Monoids
The symmetric inverse monoid $I_X$ on a set $X$ consists of all bijective functions whose domain and range are subsets of $X$ under the usual composition and inversion of partial functions. For an arbitrary infinite set $X$, we classify all maximal subsemigroups and maximal inverse subsemigroups of $I_X$ which contain the symmetric group Sym($X$) or any of the following subgroups of Sym($X$): the pointwise stabiliser of a finite subset of $X$, the stabiliser of an ultrafilter on $X$, or the sta…

I have a new Kia Sportsge (non EV) in Latvia and the problem is this car is only used 3 months a year.
Rest of the time we have it started and idled etc every few weeks for a hour but it’s just not enough. Battery falling below 40% etc.
I don’t have a garage for it so trickle chargers is hard. Might need to fix the garage wife’s grandma but not sure it will be better. But maybe can then put a battery maintainer.
EV would be worse in this situation I bet. Hard problem.
