IMG_4863_cement.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_4739_drought.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 workers toiling in the fields in Shanxi province. Unlesss it rains any crops they are preparing the ground for are unlikely to grow.

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.

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
