Funny they brag about all of their coal plant openings.

China's coal power plants: record approvals and new construction

China's coal power plants hit new records in 2024, with 66.7 GW approved and 94.5 GW under construction, despite renewable energy growth.

There are plenty of climate experts with decades of research that can be called on for expertise. And almost all agree we are headed for climatic catastrophe.

You don't even claim to be a climate expert yet here you go acting as if you are.

China is installing more renewables than the rest of the world combined;

"In 2022, China installed roughly as much solar capacity as the rest of the world combined, then doubled additional solar in 2023."

How China Became the World’s Leader on Renewable Energy

China has achieved stunning growth in its installed renewable capacity over the last two decades, far outpacing the rest of the world. But to end its continued dependence on fossil fuels, it must now move ahead with planned reforms to its national electricity system.

That will mean something when they stop emitting CO2.

CO2 is excellent for plant life.

Freeman Dyson is a must to check out. A Democrat scientist he debunked al Gores claims.

CO2 is excellent for plant life.

I know.

And nothing sucks more than advancing glaciers and crop failures.

AI Overview

Canada's Arctic ice is a critical component of the country's northern environment and is undergoing significant changes due to climate change
.
Here's a breakdown of key aspects:
1. Types of Ice:

• First-year ice: This ice forms during the winter and melts completely during the summer.
• Multi-year ice: This ice survives the summer melt and can become very thick over time. It is typically found in the Arctic Ocean and the Canadian Arctic Archipelago.
• Glacier ice: This land-based ice flows into the ocean as glaciers and icebergs.

2. Sea Ice Decline:

• Rapid Decrease: Sea ice in the Canadian Arctic is decreasing at an alarming rate.
  [*]Summer Sea Ice Area: The summer sea ice area in Northern Canadian Waters reached a low of 0.74 million square kilometers in 2024.
  [*]Rate of Decline: Between 1968 and 2024, the summer sea ice area declined at a rate of 7.2% per decade.
• Projected Ice-Free Summers: Arctic waters could be nearly ice-free in the summer by the 2050s, according to projections.

3. Regional Variations:

• Canadian Arctic Archipelago, Beaufort Sea, and Kane Basin: These regions tend to have a mix of multi-year and first-year ice and usually retain some ice cover even in the summer.
• Hudson Bay, Hudson Strait, Davis Strait, and the Northern Labrador Sea: These sub-regions of the Hudson Bay domain are typically free of sea ice during the summer.

4. Impacts of Sea Ice Change:

• Indigenous Communities: Decreasing sea ice makes travel across the ice less predictable and more dangerous, affecting hunting and traditional activities.
• Coastal Erosion and Flooding: Shorelines are becoming more exposed to waves and storm surges, leading to increased erosion and flooding.
• Ocean Mammals: Changes in sea ice affect ocean mammals that rely on it for habitat and hunting.
• Increased Shipping and Industrial Activity: Reduced sea ice is opening up new opportunities for shipping, tourism, and resource exploration.
• Risks and Challenges: Increased activity in the Arctic brings new risks, including accidents and spills, in a harsh and changing environment.

5. Research and Adaptation:

• Monitoring Sea Ice Thickness: New technologies and community-based systems like SmartICE are being used to monitor and share information on sea ice thickness.
• Adapting to Shorter Shipping Routes: Industries, such as mining, are exploring the potential of shorter shipping routes and longer shipping seasons due to reduced ice cover.

In Conclusion:
Canada's Arctic ice is undergoing rapid and dramatic changes, particularly the decline in sea ice. These changes have significant implications for the environment, Indigenous communities, and economic activities in the region.

The environment in the Chicago area really changed when the ice sheet melted because of climate change.

It is kinda neat though to be able to see Lake Michigan out the window.

So a normal interglacial period except it's 2C cooler with 26 ft shallower seas even with 120 ppm more CO2.

plus, every windmill requires tons of concrete for its base and 50 gallons of oil for lubrication (which sometimes leaks into the ground)

""...2024 is not expected to be a good year for farms, with the U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasting a 25% downturn in profits.

But some farmers in Iowa have planted something new in the ground to offset their losses: wind turbines.

Evie Haupt, 75, has Three of them working the land year-round on her 160-acre farm in Central Iowa. She says the turbines bring in about $35,000 per year, which Increases Each year with Inflation.

For struggling farmers, that's made the difference between keeping the family farm and losing it as agriculture becomes more unstable due to climate change. Each turbine takes up Less than an Acre, leaving plenty of farmable land left.

One city in China produces more CO2 than all of Canada

But Canada is run by rubes and criminals, so they’re all in on the Climate Hoax

Abu Afak is very windy.

 

[Old Rocks]

You have an insider in China?

Wind and solar installations numbers can easily be verified by satellite. I see no one contesting these numbers. How effectively that are transmitting that electricity to where it is needed is another story.

 

[Old Rocks]

Abu Afak is very windy.

And, I think, you are made stupid by your MAGAt ideology.

 

[Old Rocks]

It doesn't just lower the cost of power per KWH,

Where does it lower the cost?

Well, here is an area that is well ahead of us in installation and use of renewables and storage. South Australia.
The integration of renewable energy sources in South Australia has significantly reduced electricity costs. Here are some key points highlighting how renewables contribute to lower electricity costs:

• Net 100% renewables target: South Australia aims for net 100% renewable electricity generation by 2030, which is expected to lower electricity prices by making wind and solar cheaper than gas.1
• Wholesale electricity prices: The wholesale electricity prices in South Australia have almost halved from $64 per megawatt-hour in December 2022 to $33/MWh in the same quarter in 2023, driven by abundant solar and wind power.4
• Negative operational demand: For the first time in the National Electricity Market, there was a period of negative operational demand, where rooftop solar generated more electricity than was needed for the entire state.4
• Market dynamics: The wholesale price of electricity depends on various market factors, including the cost of natural gas, which has been a significant influence on electricity pricing.2
• Consumer prices: Despite the low wholesale prices, South Australian consumers have experienced higher average wholesale price components of their electricity bills compared to other states.3 These factors collectively demonstrate the impact of renewable energy on lowering electricity costs in South Australia, contributing to a more sustainable and cost-effective energy system.

Why then the increase?

If Renewables Are So Cheap, Why Is South Australian Electricity So Expensive?

Discover why are South Australia's electricity prices are so high, even with 70% of generation now coming from wind and solar power.
