Will India halt global warming?

[CrusaderFrank]

They have modeled that 100 ppm is very accumulative. It reflects a little more, but that builds up.

Weather may go up and down by the full 2 degrees, but they use climate to tell the long term affects.

Don't prove me right that you're going to try to keep going for ever. If you have more questions, please go to the climate forum.

So you can’t show us an experiment controlling for CO2 in 100ppm increments because we’re supposed to take your word for it?

That’s not science

Don’t be too upset, they’ve never been able to show it over there either.

And for the same reason: the laboratory is cruel and unaccepting of the Bizarre and Failed Theory of Manmade Global Climate Warming Change

In terms of both poverty and fighting climate change at the same time.

They're fighting poverty by burning fossil fuels.
All the CO2 they add doesn't fight climate change at all.

Why should I go through hours of debate for one individual? Please go to the climate forum.

This is the climate forum ... can you at least tell us why carbon dioxide has such an excessive reactivity to radiation compared to it's mass ... we live in a "one photon, one molecule" universe ... mass is everything, not just for Newton's 2nd Law ...

They're doing really well.

They're doing really well.

By being the 3rd largest emitter of CO2 on the planet.

India is not the problem IMO. India has been doing well.

By what measure?

 

[catatomic]

By being the 3rd largest emitter of CO2 on the planet.

They have 1.42 billion people.

They burn their widows alive ...

I know, all those people, emitting more CO2 than ever.

Wait until they're all driving F-150's, flying commercial and stop being pussy vegans ... nevermind their breeding habits ...

India is doing well full stop.

India (doing well) = adding much more CO2 to the atmosphere every year.

I think that chart is good.

How is India doing with burning coal?

Chat GPT

India continues to rely heavily on coal for its energy needs, even as it invests in renewable energy sources. In 2024, coal-fired power generation reached a record high, with coal accounting for approximately 73.4% of the country's total electricity generation. This increase is partly due to a reduction in thermal coal imports by over 5.5 million tons, leading to greater use of domestically mined coal, which has a higher ash content and results in increased emissions.

Reuters


Despite significant investments in renewable energy, including nearly 56,000 megawatts (MW) of new clean energy capacity under development, India is also adding 30,000 MW of new coal-fired capacity. This expansion is driven by rapid energy demand growth, averaging 7% annually. Consequently, coal is expected to remain the dominant power source, accounting for over half of India's total power capacity.

The continued reliance on coal has environmental and health implications. Air pollution from coal-fired power plants is linked to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, and emissions from these plants have been associated with significant crop yield reductions, particularly in staples like wheat and rice.

Stanford Sustainability


In summary, while India is making strides in expanding its renewable energy infrastructure, coal remains a cornerstone of its energy strategy due to growing demand and economic considerations. Balancing energy needs with environmental and health concerns continues to be a complex challenge for the country.
