Should China set up solar thermal farms in the Gobi desert? I believe renewable energy can help clean up China’s dirty skies. What do you think?

A recent article I read said that India and China are making monumentous steps towards using wind power, an 47% increase in India and 65% in china from their previous year. While coal is still the main form of energy for these countries, they are making big investments in alternative energy.

I am wondering if the U.S. is making any major headway in alternative energy, especially since we are one of the top countries that consume coal. Would be nice if you can also link your statistics.

Does anyone else also think that the hybrid cars on the market are only a short term solution? Should it only be considered a transitional phase to fully electrical cars?
Just curious also, are oil companies buying out people that are developing alternative energy tech? Are they developing them after they buy them? Sources please, I dont like to blame without having hard facts.

Reducing green house gasses is a multibillion dollar business in the USA. From government subsidizes to power corporations to build more wind towers, to venture capitalist investing billions into new technology, to corporations upgrading old equipment to newer technology that reduces power consumption while making a better and more consistent product, the USA is taking the lead in reducing co2 emissions.

The effects are evident. Not long ago, the USA dropped off the list of top polluters. Now China is the leader of green house gas production. This was done from using new technology that was developed over the years.

So why do people insist that the USA is "doing nothing" to reduce ghg’s? Is it because we as Americans put more faith in individuals to take action while true believers demand that the government use it’s full force to make people do what they think is best?

If we are going to take climate change GHM seriously, do you think Australia should be encouraging neighboring countries like China, India and Indonesia etc to lower its emissions whilst reducing our own emissions or should that be done after Australia have address their national emissions target?

Many companies that recycle old electronics are not truthful. They export it to China, and other foreign countries. There, it is not recycled, and mostly burned. Where can I recycle old electronics, and know that 100% of it is being recycled.

Many European countries are taking climate change quite seriously. Some countries, such as China, present a problem, although there are pro-green public demonstrations there.
There are natural climate cycles.
Should we change our lifestyles and do what we can, in your opinion?
Whatever your beliefs, please keep it courteous.
People of different opinions are serious and well meaning.

Hey, I’m doing a little assignment for school and I want to know which animals (specifically in China) are affected by the climate change? THANKS!

I decided to put the question in environment rather than the home work section because I thought you might know a bit more about it.

So at school im doing a project on giant pandas. There is a charity called conservation international who protect them in China. What are the arguments for and against the conservation of giant pandas.

Thanks for helping : )

Experts predict that within the next 7years there will be a global, oil, shortage. The USA, Brazil, Russia, China, India and Saudi Arabia are demanding more oil than they ever have. The demand will continue to increase, but the output of oil will not.

Will alternative fuel vehicles be the solution to a global, oil, shortage?
