Will India halt global warming?

[Robert Urbanek]

While many developed nations have made large strides in reducing their carbon footprint, global temperatures continue to rise, prompting some to consider implementing geoengineering to cap global warming. Solar geoengineering would cool the Earth by adding small reflective particles to the upper atmosphere, increasing reflective cloud cover in the lower atmosphere, or thinning high-altitude clouds that can absorb heat.

I believe the nation most likely to first implement that strategy will be the country that relies heavily on fossil fuel for economic development while suffering large impacts from climate change and has an authoritarian leader who values economic growth over green initiatives: India. That country is particularly vulnerable to deadly heatwaves and flooding due to climate chaos.

While India has set ambitious renewable energy targets, coal still supplies about 70% of the country’s energy needs.
As a nation that already has a space program and churns out techies serving corporations around the world, India is certainly capable of initiating climate manipulation. One could see a worst-case scenario in which India cools the Earth at the same time the ocean current (AMOC) that keeps Europe warm collapses, thus pitting India in a “cold war” against Europe.

India makes a lot of promises and actually fulfills very few of them.

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

India is supposedly one the most intelligent countries, but why do they have so much poverty?

No. Man has no impact on global temps

Will India halt global warming?​

Are they bringing back suttee?
Outlawing all but burning cow dung for cooking?

While many developed nations have made large strides in reducing their carbon footprint,

Which ones? Post their numbers.

 

[hjmick]

Seems unlikely.

Seventeen European countries and the U.S. have all had significant declines in fossil fuel emission.

Eighteen countries showing the way to carbon zero

In addition, eight small counties have achieved net-zero emissions.

The 8 countries are poverty stricken subsistence farming countries. Pretty easy for them to reach net zero when they are barely out of the Bronze age.

Only 75 years late
The US started this , then along with Russia and China not far behind .
Exactly what do you think they believe they are doing with Chem trails ?
And that's just simple stuff from their cupboard of Weather Manipulation weapons .

You need to look at the growing evidence for creating earthquakes -- with examples available .
BTW
Watch Greece and Italy over the next few days . We might get a right top popper .

Net zero?
So, they count what their environment absorbs?
I think we're net zero too if you count that.

Too many people.

India is one of the most to lose due to climate change

They're one with the most to gain by using fossil fuels.

 

[skookerasbil]

The answer is No....dOy.

India coal production continues to be at jawdropping levels. About 1/2 of Chinese output but still prolific ...so ummm...no.

The effects of climate change are more drastic for them.

The effects of poverty are more drastic for them.
Should they be satisfied with dirty water and a couple of hours of
electricity a day?

The effects of both are more drastic for them.

I sometimes hear otherwise perfectly reasonable, intelligent and considerate people ask “why aren’t we making use of the power of our oceans?”

Maybe immediate response is “how?” Yes, it can generate an awful lot of power, but of what use is that power if it can’t be stored? Then we have to ask, how do we store it?

And we then basically come down to batteries. We all know how dangerous batteries are for the environment. And we would need a gazillion more huge powerful batteries?

Who does the mining for all the materials needed to create useful batteries? Where do we put all the batteries that have become or will become “all used up?”

Is the ecological damage from the industry of creating so many batteries offset by the new energy source?

Personally I’d order the USAF to treat any aircraft seeding the atmosphere over America as an act of bioterrorism
