It's comparing to coal only. Not nat gas or nuke energy. They are also including hydro generated power in there as well, not just wind and solar.
Also, wind and solar still have the same issues we've discussed here. They are not reliable. They are incredibly costly and they require huge amounts of land and space.
Yes, meant to add that part as the discussion was heavy on coal. Nevertheless, most definitely not a 'small percentage' as you falsely hope.
Also from the article, we are nearing tipping points & thresholds from global warming sooner than thought. So we'd better keep working on renewables.
