A new report from the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change shows the importance of all major nations taking part in global efforts to reduce emissions—and in particular, finds China’s role to be crucial. From 2000 to 2010, China’s energy use grew 130%, up from a growth of 50% the previous decade.
