We’re testing a new format this week! From Taiwan, Nature N8 gives a quick quip about recent news that other Asian countries are going “carbon neutral,” specifically: China, Japan, and South Korea. N8 compares 3 countries in terms of their progress, touches on what comes after carbon neutrality, and suspects that China’s commitment may not be as sincere as it seems.

For more info on the industrial complex that sprung up around carbon neutrality, check out our previous episode: 18. The Great Carbon Bargain!
