my heart bleeds for the oil companies who have poisoned the world for decades and kudos to the renewable industry for picking up those profits (mind you oil companies are getting into renewables to keep themselves relevant)
"Per capita rates are a red herring" - only to those that are total wasters. China's population is many times larger than most places so their total pollution is bound to be larger, just imagine if its "per capita" usage was the same as the USA. They are also leading the world in solar and also shutting down polluting factories, they are working on their problem. Those 700 coal power stations are around the world, not just china. China has big paws in Africa and many other small struggling nations.
"as solar and other forms of renewable energy take over for real, now that that are close to actually making more sense than fossil fuels" good to see someone actually seeing the point of scientific progress and finally seeing that things do not happen overnight as most deniers seem to think it should happen (same problem for evolution deniers too, expecting to see things happen overnight). Imagine if they listened to the climate deniers and didn't do all that work on renewable energy solutions.
i didn't say that but just pointing out they are not all in China as you said in your post. I'd prefer less coal any day of the week. China is also leading in Solar production and India is climbing up the table up too but as they are such large country/populations with huge swathes of poor people, it'll take quite a while to convert all to renewables. Just be lucky that their per capita usage is so low compared to some western countries
People are trying to do responsible things to mitigate the problems for future generations i.e grandchildren. Some people are good that way and some are too self-centred and selfish to care about anyone other than themselves.
Those new 700 plants are around the world including china. China also abandoned plans for building 100 power stations. Here's a more recent link from this year. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/0...
yep, not much point trying to explain to those that do not want to hear, they have their head of their ass listening to their "gut" feelings so block out sensible dialogue. they always moan about subsidies in green energy but conveniently forget about the decades of continual subsidy to the fossil fuel industry
unfortunately these white supremacist supporters are conspiracy nuts. they get upset when someone reacts to their bigotry and don't let them get away with it. they want the freedom to do what they want but don't want anyone else to have that freedom if its a direct reaction to their enjoyment of bigotry.

thats what ignorant trolls do best as they have a lack of understanding.
all you are doing is inviting mass migration to your area as it gets too hot, dry and a lack of water in those hotter areas.

aahh.. yet another gullible conspiracy theorist
don't you just love being the armchair expert....

just dealing with this bigot and his comment "Everything you have you owe to America and the inventiveness of its people."

if its a report by a journalist (most have an agenda) then i ignore, if its by a scientist who can interpret the data correctly then i'll take notice

actually the industrial revolution started in Europe....

"we will probably need to start colonising the oceans anyway." - yep, that should displace a bit more water
"I've found $DE bloated" and "just stay out of your way " two of my favourite phrases than mean nothing
and if the sun ain't around any longer, nor will we be.
"Just google it, it will will shock you." - why don't you post links to your claims so we can read what you read to make we're on the same page?
"Nuclear power as it is right now is as cheap as any wind or solar and it can get cheaper if we start building them again" - because nuclear is subsidised, have a read of these articles

don't remember reading that anywhere, can you provide links so we can all read it and see if your interpretation is correct
provide some evidence for that link to communists. You must be so far right that anyone one inch to the left of you is communist
that was a case of mistaken identity, so your interpretation of a valid citation is crap
if they behaved like the KKK, nazis sympathisers, white supremacists etc then it will be alright to have a reactionary group against them.
