China, India, US lead global emissions increase

The Guardian

Methane emissions have also risen, despite over 100 countries pledging to reduce them. The data reveals discrepancies in reporting and actual emissions. However, China has pledged to include methane in its national climate plans, and cooperation on methane at the Cop28 summit may help limit global temperature rises.
