Ecocharger + 1,423 DL July 15 (edited) Oil and gas have a very bright future, with the old discredited Biden policies being readied for the ash heap of history and new generation fossil fuel vehicles being prepared by China. All the screwballs in the world cannot change or stop this. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/Oil-and-Gas-Are-Here-To-Stay.html "BP's latest energy outlook forecasts oil demand to peak in 2025, but the decline will be gradual, with consumption remaining high in 2035. The energy transition is losing momentum due to slowing EV sales, insufficient renewable capacity expansion, and rising electricity costs. The developing world's growing energy needs are a major factor in the continued reliance on oil and gas, even as developed nations attempt to reduce consumption." "The energy transition is showing signs of losing momentum over the past few months. EV sales are slowing, wind and solar capacity additions are not expanding fast enough, and electricity is getting more instead of less expensive. With those signs, others have been flashing red, too. Despite the push against oil and gas, these are here to stay for the long haul—and demand won’t even decline that much after peaking, according to the latest energy outlook of BP."

India is now the largest population in the world. Between India and China, they have 2/3's the worlds population, and India decided to slow importing coal as they are digging their own "dirty" coal as they are relying on coal fired plants to generate enough electricity. China and India are still building 1 plant a week, so 2 plants a week to keep the grid from failing. And yes, India was getting their coal from Australia but was too expensive. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, we have already discredited your data. But China is now going full ahead into the development of fossil fuel automobiles for the masses, the EVs were a short-lived fad. The main component of this industry group is Geely, the Chinese auto giant. https://media.renaultgroup.com/renault-group-and-geely-announce-the-creation-of-leading-powertrain-technology-company-horse-powertrain-limited/ "Following the agreements signed on July 11, 2023 by Renault Group and Geely, and after having obtained the approval of the relevant authorities, HORSE Powertrain Limited has been officially created on May 31, 2024 with each group holding 50% stake in the new company. The new company will lead the market for hybrid and combustion powertrain components and systems. Matias Giannini is appointed CEO of HORSE Powertrain limited. The Board of directors of HORSE Powertrain Limited will be chaired by Daniel Li and will have 6 directors with equal representation from its shareholders. HORSE Powertrain Limited expects to reach c. €15 billion in annual revenues and a production of c. 5 million powertrain units per year and will have as of day 1 a complete portfolio of state-of-the-art powertrain technologies for global partners including hybrid systems, internal combustion engines, transmissions, and battery solutions."

Here is what the European climate activists think about EVs...they are now attacking the Tesla plants which are seen as promoting lithium pollution and reduced forestation. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/article/2024/may/10/tesla-protest-germany-factory#:~:text=Hundreds of protesters opposed to,the electric vehicle manufacturing facility. "Hundreds of protesters opposed to the expansion of a Tesla plant in Grünheide, near Berlin, clashed with police on Friday as some of them attempted to storm the electric vehicle manufacturing facility. About 800 people took part in the protest, according to the organizing group Disrupt Tesla, which claims the expansion would damage the environment. Tesla has attracted intense backlash since the company opened the factory in March 2022, and later announced plans to expand into a nearby forest to increase its production capability. In February, the town where the factory is located voted against the plans in a referendum that was not legally binding. Since then, protesters have been stationed in an encampment nearby in protest. The same facility was shut down for a week in March after suspected arson disabled its power. A separate protest collective called Volcano Group claimed responsibility for the fire, calling for the “complete destruction of the gigafactory”. Video of Friday’s action showed dozens of people wearing blue caps and masks coming from a nearby wooded area and attempting to storm the company’s premises with police officers trying to prevent them, including by force. At least one protester was detained. “Why do the police let the leftwing protestors off so easily?” the Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, wrote on his social medial platform X... The group also wants to highlight environmental destruction in countries such as Argentina or Bolivia brought about by lithium mining, according to a Disrupt Tesla spokesperson, Ole Becker. Lithium is a key resource for electric vehicle batteries." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mceC1ophe28 Edited July 16 by Ecocharger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The province mined 29% of China's coal last year. Average daily output in June rose to 13.5 million tons, " Earlier coal production declines were related to safety inspections.

specinho + 446 July 17 On 6/18/2024 at 10:00 AM, notsonice said: But total atmospheric CO2 is only a small contributor to warming. Reduced particulates in the northern hemisphere is probably the main cause.?????????????? glad to see you make up BS with nothing to back it up reality Black carbon, a component of fine particulate matter, is one of the largest contributors to global warming after CO2. Black carbon warms the earth's atmosphere by absorbing sunlight, thereby accelerating the melting of snow and ice. Climate impacts of air pollution - World Health Organization (WHO) Quote:".......Particulate matter is one of the largest contributor to climate change.....absorbing sunlight....accelerating melting of snow and ice..." This statement might be partially correct. 1. Frequent volcano eruption these few years has created cooling effect in the tropics. It lowers average temperature of 24'c to 38'c to 16'c to ~ 32'c. - ash or particulate matter provides shielding effect. It blocks sunray from heating the earth. Not sure if recall correctly, when an asteroid hit the earth, so much dust generated to a point that ice age was formed and dinosaurs were extinct during then... - a course "backyard meteorology" shown an experiment. It concludes that without particulate matter from a smoky stick, rainy cloud can not be formed. Rainy cloud, reduces atmospheric temperature by absorbing the heat and returning water back to earth that once again reduce the heat on the ground. - in addition, an observation deduces that active volcanic activity actually encourages frequent thunder storm that comes with frequent thunder , lightning and heavy rain. - rain water, as shown, with a photo taken by chance, by a cult kid before, creates cracks on ice the moment it hits. It was deduced also, that large amount of icebergs have been formed in recent decade, probably due to changing pattern or frequency of rain in polar zones. Not directly caused by global warming where increment in temperature would only melt the ice but not crack it... - And rain water, accelerates the rate of snow and ice melting due to temperature difference.

specinho + 446 July 17 Not sure if anyone could recall this post: My reply to one of the questions raised is shown in the link. The screenshot attached highlights key points where most of all of us might have easily overlooked... The key points are: - brief on water cycle - brief on development, deforestation and water cycle - summary on consequences Therefore, disregard the level of carbon dioxide in the air, it can be reduced, particularly by natural methods. Whatever negative impact that we might have been told, would be reversible. But the larger problem is probably handling the irreversible impact due to massive urbanization and development throughout the globe. Development and deforestation disrupt natural occurrence of water cycle and other related cycles. Without these, temperature will continue to increase by leaps and bounces. The majority who are playing with 1.5 'c increment might have no idea what they are dealing with.... And how severe the impact of their ignorance over public heath and sustainability of the globe.
