Are we creating more carbon with renewables?

Must watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZBzkOwohMs
More people die of pollution than Covid?

USA not doing enough (1:35 min of video), China is worst. Bravo Sweden for managing growth in economy with balancing Carbon tax.

The film references Michael Moore’s film Planet of The Humans, which claims that renewable energy isn't the answer to climate change. We don’t point out all the problems with the film, so if you watch it, we recommend checking the facts via independent sources.

Global CO2 emissions have risen dramatically:

Scientists expect a 3 degree temperature increase will happen even if countries meet their commitments under the Paris climate agreement.

The world is failing to meet Paris Climate Agreement targets.

When trees are burnt, they release a lot of CO2. The idea is to absorb it with new trees, but studies show that this would take around 40-100 years.
Study by Stanford University, published in Nature Communications. Summary: https://www.independent.co.uk/environ...

200 scientists wrote to the EU, warning that wood creates more emissions than coal, because it’s less efficient to process. Biofuel is not the answer to climate change.
https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10...

Renewable energy sources emit up to 50g of C02 per kWh, over their lifetime, compared to around 1000g for coal and 475 for natural gas.
Study by the National Renewable Energy Lab:

Fossil fuel air pollution causes around 3.6 million deaths per year (the IMF estimates that this would have been cut in half with carbon taxes).
Study published in Cardiovascular Research: https://academic.oup.com/cardiovascre...

An IMF study found that if prices had been corrected in 2015, the world would be very different. Summary and link to study:

Air pollution nearly doubles the risk of dementia in parts of the US.
Study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA:

Economists agree that if temperatures rise by 3 degrees, it will plunge the world’s economy into a deep depression, or worse.

75% also said that a carbon tax was the most efficient way to tackle climate change.

Broad expert and government support for carbon taxes.

Electricity is cheaper in countries with more renewable energy:

Australia’s brief carbon tax worked, and after it was removed, electricity prices rose:

Fossil Fuels are subsidised by $5.2 Trillion per year.

Big Oil is still trying to deny climate change:

Exxon CEO said the Earth was cooling, decades after his own scientists found the opposite: http://www.climatefiles.com/exxonmobi.

Never witnessed trees fall on houses in July in the north east. What's going on? Are the sun spots more active now? Is sun/earth indeed speeding up?

BTW, ELon Musk is raving about China's efforts of going green. I guess it has learnt its lessons. The report above must be stale. China is adopting solar cars rapidly than any other nations and miles ahead of USA.
