Quartz: China is cutting down on its coal habit. In the first four months of 2015, the country consumed almost 8% less coal than in the same period a year earlier, according to a report by Greenpeace/Energydesk China. This means China's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions fell by around 5% in the first four months of the year, according to the report. That's a lot--roughly equal to the volume of CO2 emissions spewed by the entire UK during that same period, as Greenpeace/Energydesk China notes. If the trend...
