    I was thinking to this matter and I realized that I have been deceived by the English. The author of the graph should have written "coal power plants added and retired" rather than "coal power added and retired" IMO. For you who are English mother tongue it was obvious, but for me English is...

    In April 1938, Guy Callendar published his seminal paper showing that Earth’s land areas had warmed over the previous 50 years. He also suggested that man-made Carbon Dioxide CO2 emissions had caused around half of the observed Anthropogenic Warming. This happened 86 years ago.

    Prediction: Coal has fallen. Nuclear is next then Oil.

    Yes it's important to check carefully fossil fuel consumption of China which looks like one of the Countries whose emissions are more important. To this purpose also Satellites can be used. ESA has a Satellite Programme having this task.

    Prediction: Coal has fallen. Nuclear is next then Oil.

    @Oil4AsphaultOnly Actually I was giving a better look to the tweet and I realized that by added coal power it didn't mean additional coal power consumption but additional coal power plants meaning that the CAPACITY increased, or decreased for retired coal power (plants). But eventually it's...

    Prediction: Coal has fallen. Nuclear is next then Oil.

    @Oil4AsphaultOnly Since I am not believed I report the tweet containing the discussed graph. As everybody can see the reported graph represents "Coal power added and retired". So positive bars represent added coal power, meaning additional coal used to produce power in that year, while...

    Prediction: Coal has fallen. Nuclear is next then Oil.

    Retired coal consumption is the decreased amount of used coal with respect to previous year. Edit: You can also use less coal than previous year and that's a negative increment in mathematical analysis.

    Prediction: Coal has fallen. Nuclear is next then Oil.

    Actually the increase (not the whole amount the graph is incremental) Coal power consumption for China in 2023 is about 50 GW. The 2% is relative to the increased Global Capacity which is another thing.
