IMG_3901_p.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. Here a new wind farm is constructed in Inner Mongolia

IMG_4073_desertification.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.  Inner Mongolia has been particularly badly hit with ever drier conditions and creeping desertification. Here a sand storm sweeps across a highway in Inner Mongolia

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. Inner Mongolia has been particularly badly hit with ever drier conditions and creeping desertification. Near Dongsheng an area known as Hong Hai Zai used to be a large lake. Its waters used to harbour many fish, caught and sold at market by the locals. It finally dried up completely in 1999, leaving a baked landscape on which a few hardy plants now grow. This mongolian man leads his camel across what was the former lake bed.

IMG_3940_power station.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 Coal fired power plant being constructed in Inner Mongolia, China.

IMG_3890_food store.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 food storage depots in Inner Mongolia, northern China

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. This shot shows tree nurseries raising pine trees to plant out across Inner Mongolia
