The companies who have recently joined the London-based the Climate Group include China Mobile, Suntech, Broad Air Conditioning and Lenovo.

According to the Guardian, “China Mobile has agreed, initially, to reduce energy intensity of its $47bn (about £29bn) annual business by 40%, double the national target.”

To put that in perspective, according to a Chinese state think tank (Reuters did not name which one), greenhouse emissions will double or more in two decades.

So the question is: When will that 40% cut be met?
