https://www.psicologialaboral.net/2024/08/07/jyg494mj8 When China makes international news these days, it’s often because of its densely polluted air. The public health aspect of this story is usually front and center, while the global warming angle is somewhat muted. Still, there’s no getting around the climate implications of China’s reliance on coal. There are signs that China is trying to… https://transculturalexchange.org/xg46jrle03 Continue Reading…

https://inteligencialimite.org/2024/08/07/jyt3ywtrx Senator John Kerry’s confirmation as Secretary of State has generated positive vibes in the environmental community and given climate campaigners a little hope. (Incidentally, does anybody else find it odd that Kerry, despite “his long record as one of the Senate’s strongest advocates for climate action,” as the Guardian noted, is just now divesting from… https://polyploid.net/blog/?p=ntizdgu6ccm Continue Reading…

https://www.clawscustomboxes.com/4ovd6p2bmp So while American politicians and environmentalists slug it out over a proposed pipeline, China is stocking its rainy day shale and oil sands fund. Let’s start with the recent news out of Canada: China will take over full ownership over a Canadian oil sands project for the first time after Athabasca Oil Sands Corp announced… https://udaan.org/rdc95qq3hvb.php Continue Reading…

China's Coal Dependency

March 20, 2011 by Keith Kloor | Filed in China, clean coal, Energy | 5 comments

A China analyst advises that dethroning coal from its dominant position in China’s energy hierarchy will be exceptionally difficult, even assuming optimistic scenarios of deploying other energy sources. What does this realistic outlook imply? Therefore, it is imperative to simultaneously focus on developing clean coal and carbon technologies.

Coal: The Reigning and Future King

March 8, 2011 by Keith Kloor | Filed in clean coal, climate change, coal | 14 comments

https://mandikaye.com/blog/b6m69ftyo In a reality-based world, stories like this (and it seems there are a few each week) should act like smelling salts to those who blame climate “deniers” and the media for lack of action on global warming. Here’s The Guardian’s lede: Vast reserves of coal in the far west of China mean it is set to become… Continue Reading…

Question of the Day

https://aiohealthpro.com/ic33lhzdu It’s good to see I’m not the only one bothered by it. Now this post–and President Obama’s speech on Tuesday–is the way to balance that admiration for China with some healthy perspective.

Enviro China Lust

January 22, 2011 by Keith Kloor | Filed in China, climate change, environmentalism | 58 comments

https://merangue.com/j8w9spsnuya It just amazes me how some greens continue to entertain the notion that authoritarianism might be better for the future of humanity than democracy. Two years removed from a historic election, in which a black man was elected president of the world’s longest-lasting democratic government, try wrapping your mind around this question posed at Grist:… Continue Reading…

The Love-Bunny of the Greens

January 12, 2011 by Keith Kloor | Filed in China, Energy | 10 comments

Bishop Hill latches on to this post, which catches up with a two-month old wet kiss to China from James Hansen, all which leads a Bish commenter to sarcastically (and rightly) note: The way China has become the “˜love-bunny’ of the greens is indeed funny, its human rights records is still awful, its building coal… https://www.completerehabsolutions.com/blog/efrdzewiuj2 Continue Reading…

Getting Past China Lust

September 23, 2010 by Keith Kloor | Filed in China, politics, thomas friedman | 14 comments

https://transculturalexchange.org/xdivthu There’s just something weird about this China envy that I keep hearing from liberal pundits and intellectuals. I’m still trying to wrap my mind around yesterday’s op-ed by Thomas Friedman, so I’m going to attempt to unpack it. Bear with me. Let’s start with Friedman’s opener: To visit China today as an American is to… Continue Reading…
