IMG_9632_pollution.jpg China's environmental protection is woefully inadequate, every where you go litter is strewn across countryside and cities alike. Here rubbish lies piled up in the streets of Dongsheng in Inner Mongolia.

IMG_9659_tree planting.jpg China is in the middle of the worst drought in 50 years. Precipitation totals have fallen significantly across most of China's northern provinces. 60% of China's 669 major cities face water shortages, of these 110 face serious water shortages. Climate change modelling shows that Northern China is going to get significantly drier leading to crop failure and desertification which is already happening in many places in northern China. The Chinese are trying to combat this by planting millions of trees. Sadly many of these trees die as the ground is now just too dry to support them

IMG_9662_river.jpg China is in the middle of the worst drought in 50 years. Precipitation totals have fallen significantly across most of China's northern provinces. 60% of China's 669 major cities face water shortages, of these 110 face serious water shortages. Climate change modelling shows that Northern China is going to get significantly drier leading to crop failure and desertification which is already happening in many places. Rivers across China are suffering with many running at critically low levels. Some of this is due to over extraction of water but increasingly is due to climate change. This critically low river is in Shanxi province

Precipitation totals have fallen significantly across most of China's northern provinces. 60% of China's 669 major cities face water shortages, of these 110 face serious water shortages. Climate change modelling shows that Northern China is going to get significantly drier leading to crop failure and desertification which is already happening in many places in northern China. Shanxi province has been particularly badly hit with ever drier conditions and creeping desertification. Here a village water storage reservoir has completely dried up.

IMG_9698_cement works.jpg In 2008 China officially became the worlds largest emitter of C02 (greenhouse gases), largely driven by its ever increasing demand for energy most of which is met by producing electricity from coal fired power stations. Worryingly China is building a new coal fired power station every week and has huge reserves of coal, much of which is very low grade and highly polluting. Here a coal fired cement factory billows smoke in Tongshuan, Shanxi Province, China. Cement is hugely carbon hungry in its production.

IMG_9702_soalr panel.jpg In 2008 China became the worlds largest emitter of greenouse gases, fuelled by high levels of economic growth and electricity mainly being generated by dirty, highly polluting coal fired power stations. The Chinese are also investing heavily in renewable energy projects. This communty scale solar electric generating station is in Xian City in northern China

IMG_9741_outfall.jpg China's environmental protection standards are woefully inadequate Many of their rivers as well as running dangerously low from over extraction and drought brought on by climate change are hideously polluted and litter strewn.

IMG_9771_cotton.jpg China is in the middle of the worst drought in 50 years. Precipitation totals have fallen significantly across most of China's northern provinces. 60% of China's 669 major cities face water shortages, of these 110 face serious water shortages. One of the main consequences of this is that many areas that previously produced much of China's food are seeing crop yields falling, leading to a loss of long term food security. Computer simulation shows that as Climate change accelerates, it will lead to food shortages across large parts of china. This shot shows cotton bundles. Cotton needs large quantities of water in its production and unless artificially irrigated will no longer grow in northern China.

Computer simulation shows that as Climate change accelerates, it will lead to food shortages across large parts of china. This shot shows wheat crops growing near Hangang in northern China. In many areas unless like hear the crops are artificially irrigated, they can no longer produce food.
