COP28: Who Matters? — Follow-up

One reader offered this chart in evidence: Of course, the chart is in percentages, and does show, on that basis, that the percentage of renewables has increase 10% while fossils fuels have dropped by 15%. But, what about COAL? The "Dirtiest" of all fossil fuels? 84% of the increase in coal consumption, worldwide, is the result of additional coal-fired power plants in China alone.

Just to round out the set, another reader properly points outs that electrical generation is a small piece of the energy pie, and that Primary Energy is the much larger usage of fuels.

What is the source of that primary energy?: What's the problem? Oh, you can't see the percentage that is renewable? The percentage that is nuclear? That's the point! If the IPCC world wishes to reduce fossil fuels use, it is the primary energy sector they must concentrate on.

If the IPCC is to rein in fossil fuel consumption in just the electrical sector, China and India must agree to not only stop building more coal-fired plants, but must begin to close or re-power the existing coal-fired plants.

We need cement, we need steel, we need aluminum, we need plastics, we need micro-chips, we need petroleum distillates and by-products.

Even without the Climate Crazies' viewpoint, fossil fuels are just too valuable to simply burn for their energy content.

We need new sources of power and more so do we need new technologies to make the things we need without wasting the fossil fuels available to us.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

WEF Orders Govt's To Declare Martial Law Due To 'Imminent Bird Flu Pandemic' About To Sweep Globe

 The World Economic Forum has ordered world governments to make the necessary preparations to declare martial law due to an 'imminent bird flu pandemic' which they say is '100 times worse' than COVID-19. According to WEF scientists, the coming bird flu pandemic will kill at least 50% of those it infects. Infowars.com reports: Cattle in six different U.S. states have been diagnosed with this new bird flu strain. GOP Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky shared a screenshot of a February 2024 Daily Mail article with the headline, "REVEALED: US is collaborating with Chinese scientists to make bird flu strains more infectious and deadly as part of $1m project - despite fears similar tests unleashed Covid." "Where have we seen this before? U.S. collaborates with China to make bird flu more contagious and transmissible to mammals. bird flu now discovered in U.S. dairy cattle, transmitted to at least one human being. Knock it off already!" Massie wrote. Secretive ...
