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_9725_coal.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. A man breaks up coal for domestic use.

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. This badly polluted river is in the industrial city of Hangang

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.

IMG_3782_biofuel.jpg In Northern China once the corn has been harvested the stalks are dried and collected. This is then used as the main fuel by peasant farmers for burning on their kitchen stoves for cooking, and also for heating their houses, meaning that these people have a very small carbon footprint.
