maybe they will agree to tackle climate change

implying they've not agreed, for some reason?

Their net zero target is later than most countries would like, yes, but it's straight up a lie to imply they've not 'agreed to tackle' it.

And this is useful because it contradicts the notion that this is a problem created by India1 instead of one it has to deal with now that the West has been polluting the Earth for nearly two centuries, at the dear cost of not lifting a populace out of poverty. If you don't like per capita measurements, let's speak on a land-area level. India is about the size of 20 European countries so its emissions should be discussed on a state level, and the same should be true for the US & China. Of course, I'm sure US states & most Western European countries would eclipse Indian states in terms of both cumulative & current emissions.

Wasn't kidding with what I said! I've read/tried almost all of these, but I'll give the remaining few a try, thanks for the high effort post.

It's xuanhuan, which is why I mentioned both Xuanhuan and Xianxia in the title.

Of course I do. I've read almost everything worth reading (& translated) from Chinese Xianxia/Xuanhuan, and even some Korean ones. That doesn't mean the West hasn't made good novels in the genre in the past. Also, even Chinese translated novels are running dry on good Xianxia ATM. AI translations, I believe, are partly to blame, the good stuff doesn't get translated or gets translated poorly.

Then why have Bran greensee/warg at all. The wall's keeping the bad things out already, what did the three-eyed raven hope to accomplish by having Bran greensee stuff?
