But the cities are still extremely polluted. I feel this data is manipulated. Also, where I live there used to be so many migratory birds in this season. Nowadays, we barely see any.

These politicians keep fucking up the country.

"got worse more slowly" is very different from "got better"

Some quotes:

[...] the increase in clean-power generation from newly added capacity in 2025 was sufficient to cover demand growth of up to 5%.

In total, CO2 emissions went up slightly year-on-year, as increases from steel and cement outweighed the falls in gas demand and coal power.

The planned investment in steelmaking is overwhelmingly coal-based capacity. [...] Two-thirds of steel is used for construction. Strong steel demand in 2025 reflected growth in new housing construction in earlier years
