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_4799_river levels.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 Tongshuan in Northern China

IMG_4855_water carrying.jpg Tongshuan in Inner Mongolia like many areas of northern China is in the middle of the worst drought in 50 years, brought on by climate change. Many peasant famalies have no running water in their houses and have to walk long distances each day to fetch water, from an ever dwindling resource. 60% of China's major cities face water shortages, of these 110 face serious water shortages, a situation which will only get worse as climate change accelerates.
