Let's hear it for Global Warming

[JoeB131]

How you gonna stop China?

China is already investing hundreds of billions of dollars into clean energy and alternative fuels.

 

[Missourian]

And I just refilled my 500 gallon propane tank with enough big beautiful fossil fuel to keep this "climate change" going until 2032.

California's got you licked.

A single, devastating California fire season wiped out years of efforts to cut emissions

California wildfires released almost 127 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2020, almost double the amount of carbon dioxide reductions made over 18 years.

Imagine what the 2025 does are doing.

Not surprised that our resident Chinese commie jumped in.
Intent and execution are two different things.

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.

"Renewables now account for half of China’s installed capacity, but there has also been a surge in permits for new coal-fired power plants, and China still generates about 70 percent of its electricity from fossil fuels. This means actual renewable energy use is lagging behind installed capacity."

Why haven't you skipped town yet and moved to China?

Why haven't you skipped town and moved to Somalia? You'd love it there. They have no government and everyone has guns. Of course, they are probably all a little too Muslim and dark-skinned for you, but take the good along with the bad, I always say.

Anyway, you miss the point, that while America digs in its heals and fights renewables and clean energy, China is massively investing it it, and providing for not only their own needs but the rest of the world.

But I'm sure the Oil Companies are getting their money's worth today.

No I didn't miss the point. Intent and execution are two different things, just as I pointed out in the article. I'm done conversing with you before you derail this thread for one of your go to off-the-rail-diatribes.

Global warming wins again!
Once in a generation cold and snow.

A once-in-a-generation winter storm is sweeping through the South as much of US deals with frigid temperatures

Roughly 40 million people from Texas to the Carolinas are under winter weather alerts, as a rare winter storm brings bone-chilling temperatures and potentially historic snowfall to cities unused to harsh cold weather.

You totally missed the point.

They invest in the technologies of the future, we remain wedded to the technologies of the past, because Big Oil can buy a bitch like Trump.

BIg oil, and big natural gas, isn't going anywhere, unless you are looking to starve a billion people because you can't move food around. Deal with it. Propaganda has beaten you to the core and you really have no idea what you are talking about!

As I type this, I can hear my oil burner humming, and keeping my house warm in a very cold Northeastern winter. You can have my oil furnace when you pry it from my cold dead hands.

Long live big oil.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Extreme cold, and growing extremes of weather are symptoms of global warming.

our record cold winter follows a record hot summer.

sea levels are rising.

Big oil has known that manmade global warming is real for over 40 years. Their response has been a constant lobbying and propoganda effort to deny it.

Your insurance company knows it’s real too, and are pricing accordingly.

The reality ran over you a long time ago.

Go on clinging to your talk radio/big oil myths about man de global warming.

So, actually we’re dealing with Global Warmer Coolering, right?

I'm guessing Joe didn't read the article I posted because he usually doesn't read anything that anyone else presents. The article stated that despite China's intention and spending of 'clean' energy, they are also still approving more coal burning electric producing facilities. His faith, love, and worship of all things China is clearly obvious. Perhaps brain washed.

Except in 50 years, there will be no more oil. The world will run out.

That's the point.

When Will We Run Out of Oil, and What Happens Then?

The global oil supply can't meet the demand forever. Will the last drops of oil lead to widespread anarchy, the end of globalization and the relentless exploitation of previously protected drilling sites?

science.howstuffworks.com

So you'll be stuck there with your oil burner with nothing to burn in it.

Meanwhile, the Chinese will have cornered the market on solar, wind, and alternative fuel technologies.

No, we really aren't. Like most wingnuts, you confuse weather with climate.

"Once again, the temperature record has been shattered — 2024 was the hottest year since record keeping began in 1880," NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said in a Jan. 10 statement. "Between record-breaking temperatures and wildfires currently threatening our centers and workforce in California, it has never been more important to understand our changing planet."

We've been over this, Kid. I don't read anything posted by a wingnut, ever. Life's too fucking short.

China is investing in the future, we are wedded to the past.

But, hey, we can despoil the last few bits of clean water we have fracking the last few drops of oil out of the shale.

^ CCP Spokesman

Not at all, I'll criticize China when they deserve it. This is something they are doing right, though.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

The USA currently has 219 coal fired plants, 40% reduction from 2010

China today has 3,000 and will add another 100 this year. China adding more plants than the USA has shut in the last 10 years

Once you know the facts, you can see who is truly behind the AGWCult and their zeal to shut down American energy

Killing the planet with CO2 is “doing something right”???

No such thing as "clean" energy.

If CO2 is really the problem, then China needs to deindustrialize, right?

Again, they are also investing nearly a trillion dollars in green energy. That's the point, dummy.

https://www.weforum.org/stories/2025/01/why-china-matters-to-the-worlds-green-transition/#:~:text=China%20spent%20more%20than%20twice,is%20a%20case%20in%20point.

China spent more than twice as much on its green transition in 2023 than any other country, and this investment has made it a global powerhouse in clean energy production.

Battery technology is a case in point. China is home to the world’s largest suppliers of components for lithium-ion batteries, upon which EVs depend for power. Chinese EV battery makers had a global market share of 60% and grew their exports by 30% year-on-year in 2023.

China is similarly dominant in its embrace of low-emission hydrogen, a residue-free energy source that releases steam instead of smoke. The largest green hydrogen project on the planet is located in China, as are around 40% of the world’s hydrogen refuelling stations. These stations support a small but quickly growing population of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

Solar and wind energy are also areas of strength. In 2023, the country commissioned as much solar photovoltaic capacity as the entire world did the year before and was responsible for 75% of global wind farm installations.

The rapid growth of green technology production in China has helped cut green energy costs worldwide, making sustainable energy solutions more accessible than ever for billions of people.

Peak oil??

You still believe that Earth is the only planet or Moon that needs long dead dinosaurs to make hydrocarbons?

Have you seen the photos from the Cassini probe of Saturns moon Titan and it’s massive lakes of hydrocarbons?
