People's Emergency Briefing

Versatile as Andy no doubt is, I don’t think he can halt global warming or stop wars.
I do think, that where green credentials are concerned the UK is doing quite well, but we’re a tiny island and it’s up to the big guys like the US and China to step up.

China is actually the world's top energy producer from renewables. The US not so much!

China is the top producer of plastic tat.

we all need more information
All the information you need is at your finger tips.
All I will say is that, if climate change doesn’t wipe us out, micro plastics will.
But at least the planet will survive without us destroying it 😥

I agree Oreo, but those products would not be made without people wishing to buy them.

China is actually the world's top energy producer from renewables. The US not so much!

But China is a very big country with a huge electricity production and only 30% of its power comes from renewable sources. It is also consumes 25% of the world's coal output each year in power generation.

Here is a link to a fascinating map that shows what proportion renewables play in a countries total energy consumption.

It shows a swathe of Central African countries, Norway, Iceland produce all their electricity from renewables. Other countries like Canada, Brazil, Sweden and Greenland and more African countries produce 70% plus of their electricity from renewables.

On the other end of the scale most of the 'sinners' are physically large countries. Both Russia and the US produced barely 20% of their power from renewable sources. India, China, Australia and Argentina hover around 30%.
