The 1,446+ coal-fired power plants in Asia ... Plus, a review of chlorofluorocarbons.

Adani Power Maharashtra Limited, Tirora; by Aman Bisen

Let us begin with the following scientific "averment of fact."  It can serve as a bench mark and a reference point ... simply for comparison purposes ... to the radiative forcing of the often-mentioned greenhouse gases, in terms of Watts per Meter Squared.  

Now for the analysis at hand:

Instead of placing your focus on CO2 which occupies less than 1/2 of 1/10th of 1% of the atmosphere and which has a much lower radiative forcing rate than previously advertised, at 2.17 to 2.2 w/m2 ... 

... and instead of placing your focus on methane which only exists at 1.94 parts per million in the atmosphere and which has a negligible radiative forcing ... 

... and instead of focusing on nitrous oxide which only exists at 1/3 of one part per million in the atmosphere and which has an even more negligible radiative forcing ...

... concentrate on CFCs, even though they only occupy the atmosphere at 4 parts per billion.  They do not degrade ... dissolve ... for 55 to 140 years.   Moreover, the following needs to be known:

Definitely concentrate on curtailing SF6 which won't disintegrate for 3,200 years.  Meanwhile, do NOT waste your time on methane, because it's chump change, in terms of its very low radiative forcing, and its low presence in the Earth's atmosphere.

Keep the cattle alive.  Live and let live.  They're not hurting you.

The Number 1 sign of a climate charlatan who knows little-to-nothing about Atmospheric Science is that of him/her ranting and raving over having to get rid of methane from the atmosphere, even tothe point of him/her encouraging the killing of all the cattle on earth.   Methane is hardly in the atmosphere, in the first place. 

Nitrous Oxide occupies even less, while carrying a much lower radiative forcing, in watts per meter squared.  This shows what a bunch of deceitful & unconscionable con artists are the climate activist politicians and journalists.

Chloroflourocarbons need to be kept on a leash.  SF6 must be banned asap ... with maybe with a few heavily monitored exceptions.  But, it must be extremely monitored.  Period.

Now for the Irony of it all

Carbon Dioxide is presented all throughout society as the ultimate cause of Global WARMING.  Yet, Carbon Dioxide is a REFRIGERANT.      How ironic!!!

The CFCs which retain a lot of infrared light are also REFRIGERANTS.  But, they are now mostly banned from commercial use.

 

The added irony:   Cirrus Clouds are well known for their ability to capture infrared light far more effectively than CO2.  Well, cirrus clouds are ice crystals.  Go figure.

In re: Ozone, something that ultraviolet light can replenish

Ozone can easily be restored by something as simple as ultraviolet light.  And of course, the hole in the Ozone was cited to be over Antarctica.  The problem is that Antarctica has to wait six months at a time, for the ultraviolet light to reach into the Stratosphere and eventually onto Earth's Surface.  The 6 months of night explains why the hole in the Ozone Layer was over Antarctica.

The other problem is that ozone is a respiratory toxicant.  It's place is in the Stratosphere.  When too much of it descends to the Earth's surface, people start fighting to breathe.  And of course, if you are not breathing, then you are dying.

CO2 ... not the monster Gore made it out to be ... HOWEVER ... 

... when it comes to rates in increase in the atmosphere of any molecule there, intervention is needed.  When it comes to coal, there is also the matter of Fly Ash and Sulfur Dioxide being unleashed into the atmosphere, by Indian and Chinese coal-burning power plants.

Now, Bill Gates wanted or still wants to cast sulfur dioxide throughout perhaps the Stratosphere, to serve as a widespread aerosol and create global cooling.  

Well Bill ... or his assistants out there ... China and India are unleashing more than enough Sulfur Dioxide into the atmosphere, already.  They are achieving your goal for you, in SO2 quantities above & beyond what you would reasonably advocate.

The only problem with CO2 today is that India & China are now unleashing inordinate amounts of it, through their coal-fired power plants.  So, high tech filtration there is in order.  However, the COMMUNIST Chinese Party is known for its dereliction of duty, concerning environmental decency.   Quick note:  Below, GW stands for Gigawatts.

Yet, CO2 is NOT a toxin, and healthy people will have no problem with it at 2,000 ppm or less.  Symptoms won't actually start until 3,500 ppm, and those are neurological symptoms.  

In fact, the OSHA Permissible Level for CO2 is 5,000 ppm ... for 8 hours of exposure.  That's a 1/2 percent concentration in the airspace where the 5,000 ppm of CO2 is.  That's an airspace where 99.5% of it is NOT CO2.

Now, at 80,000 ppm ... 8% concentration ... after an hour of exposure, death comes to your doorstep.  At a 10% concentration of CO2 ... at 100,000 ppm ... death is guaranteed.  

Plus, 40,000, 20,000, 10,000, and 5,500 ppm is not healthy.  But, at present, Planet Earth's outdoor CO2 doesn't even occupy 1/10th of 1% of the atmosphere outside.  It's 431 ppm, as of the Summer of 2026.  That's 0.043% of the atmosphere.

China's & India's Coal-fired Power Plants:

Equal to the emissions of 23 mid-sized volcanoes per day

Note:  China has 1,161 coal-fired power plants at present, in 2026

If the number of coal-fired power plants were not so high, then there would be no problem with co2 at present.  But, too much of anything in a short period of time is guaranteed to be trouble ... to health or the environment.  Yet, burning trees for warmth or power would be worse for Planet Earth and the life on it.

Does China and India use electrostatic precipitators?  Is fly ash let to fly throughout Asia and eventually elsewhere on Earth, or it is under controls in Asia? Do they de-sulfurize the flue gas in Asia?

Remember, COMMUNIST China was environmentally irresponsible in the 1990s and turn of the Millennium.  It was most certainly a disregarder of environmental norms.

As far as goes India today, read the following:

China Unfiltered which is not to be confused with China Uncensored.

None the less, concerning the many coal-fired power plants in China and India, filtration monitored by honest people in the World Community is needed.  Maybe someone can reinvent the wheel, here, diplomatically or scientifically.  You don't simply sit back and ignore it.

You can be as Draconian as you please to industries operated by Europe & the USA, concerning greenhouse gases in North America, South America, Europe, and Africa.  But, if you don't filter the emissions from those 1,446+ recently built or re-established or ongoing coal-fired power plants in Asia, then the Earth's atmospheric CO2 level will reach runaway levels.  

It's the rate, the rate, the rate of increase which necessitates intervention, at this point.  The CO2 release into the atmosphere is a little too rapid at present, as well as the release of poisonous sulfur dioxide into the same atmosphere which, ironically, can cause cooling, as well as a lot of asthma attacks.  

And then there is Fly Ash.

Synthetic Assault & Battery is very real to the human body ... as well as the emissions of all substances coming out of the 1,446+ coal-burning power plants in India and China:

 

Of course, aside from the 1,446+ coal-burning plants in Asia, the present environmental duty is that of ending the glut of synthetic chemicals that flood modern society.  

This is due to those chemicals' ability ~to be hormone distruptors and to be ~clastogens (meaning that they cut chromosome chains), ~respiratory allergens, ~respiratory irritants, and ~dermal allergens, as well as being ~carcinogens ... and as incitants of other unfavorable things, like  ~urticaria (hives).   Those synthetic chems sabotage child development, also.

The glut of unbridled synthetic chemicals is the environmental scandal of today.  It's assault & battery on certain types of asthma and Reactive Airways Dysfunction Syndrome patients, as well as dermatitis patients, urticaria patients, patients having hormone-related ills, and people who don't want their chromosomes severed by chemicals.  

It's also an affront on those who really don't want to eventually develop cancer.  The corralling of the vast inventory of synthetic chemicals is a present-tense duty.

Mediterranean heatwaves have a Sahara-based history, long before 2024

                                   ★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆

Without including any name, rank, or serial number, someone wrote an insult to the intelligence of every history student in-the-know.  It came in an article whose title was printed in an exaggeratively large font.  Yet, just because you put a lie in really big letters, it doesn't automatically turn it into the truth.

The writer's thesis statement was that there could not have been the 2024 Mediterranean heatwave without there having been the present amount of anthropogenic greenhouse gases and this vague thing called "anthropogenic climate change."  

The bottom line here is that the author made it sound as if there were no heatwaves of substance in Southern European & the Mediterranean Coastline until the 2010s or 2020s.  The inference was that those Mediterranean heatwaves only came because of a rise in the atmospheric CO2 level.

Now, I can line-itemize a sample of the Mediterranean heatwaves beginning with the 1852 Italian heatwave ... or even the 1881 Mediterranean heatwave ... when the atmospheric CO2 level was below 290 ppm.  But, without posting evidentiary support, an Al Gore follower will simply resolve in his/her mind that the line-itemized text is a lie ... a fiction ... a pro-oil-company piece of propaganda.  

In this instance, newspaper article copies of the heatwaves of 1852, 1881, 1896, 1901, 1906, 1911, 1914, 1921, 1922, etc, are far more important than any lesson typewritten in 2026.

Okay then, after the mention of one blatant observation, let's let the newspaper articles do the talking, proverbially speaking.

Ye Observation of the hour:

Q:  What would be the predominate source of all of the heat which is ever-so-ready to provide high temperatures to Southern Europe, depending on the direction of the wind?

ANS:  The Sahara and the desert nations of Northern Africa.  Concerning this, Egypt IS 95% desert.  Algeria IS 80% desert.  Libya is 90% desert, and Morocco is 80% desert.  In fact, Tunisia is 75% desert, and those winds which carry Sahara heat into Southern Europe are known as SIROCCO WINDS.

The Sirocco Winds coming from a desert the size of the United States is the source of Southern Europe's intense summertime heat.  It is NOT CO2.  In as much, heatwaves in Southern Europe are NOT new editions arriving with the rise in CO2.  Southern European heatwaves are as old as the Sahara Desert, itself.

Let us begin with proof that heat-related deaths, by the dozen ... in small geographic pockets ... were being reported as far back as the 1850s, when the CO2 level was approximately 142 parts per million LESS than today's CO2 level of 432 ppm.  The report below is of 40 adults dying from the heat of St. Louis, on July 24, 1878:

And remember, the global weather from 1876 to 1878 was tragic, and this was when the CO2 Count was only 289 to 290 parts per million.  That amounts to 141 ppm LESS than today's 431 ppm.

In review, the Little Ice Age which began around 1274 ended around 1850, resulting in the start of the Modern Warm Period.  Well, by 1852, there was the reporting of a critical heatwave.  

Then came the Civil War Drought which began in mid-1850s and affected the American Central Plains and West.  Next came heat in the 1870s, accompanied by wildfire, the largest of which occurred in Peshtigo Wisconsin, in October of 1871.

       On the exact same day, the Great Chicago Fire occurred.

Then came the heatwaves of 1878, even during the Australian Summer.  

Below:  Minneapolis had no winter weather during Winter of 1878

Below:  Onward to Europe, in 1878, when the CO2 level was very very low, proving that Al Gore's declarative statement about CO2 being the cause of natural disasters is one big lie.

This was followed by heatwaves of 1881 and 1896, as well as other ones.  In as much welcome to the Modern Warm Period which brought heat to Planet Earth's atmosphere, even when the outdoor CO2 Count was below 310, 300, and 290 parts per million.

Once again, media entities are trying to paint the picture of the world finally being overcome by deadly "greenhouse gases," where mankind must begin a Climate Dictatorship, where cattle must literally be sacrificed.  

Even at that, the present ... and not predicted ... radiative forcing of co2, as of 2019, was only 2.17 watts per meter squared.  The 3.7 w/m2 value is the prediction for co2, based upon its doubling of volume since the pre-industrial era.  At the start of the Industrial Era, CO2's atmospheric level was 273 parts per million.

That is to say, 3.7 watts per meter squared is only the prediction for the future event when co2 finally reaches twice the level of CO2 than it had in 1750.  In 1750, the CO2 level was 273, and of course, 273 times 2 = 546 ppm.

Today's co2 exists in the atmosphere at 431 or 432 ppm.  So, there is about 114 ppm to go, for CO2 to finally double its 1750 volume.  

If the CO2 volume rises 2 ppm per year, it would take 57 years it to have doubled since its pre-industrial level of 273 ppm.  If co2's presence in the atmosphere rises at a rate of 4 ppm per year, then it would take no more than 28 years for CO2's atmospheric level to reach 546 ppm.  

In light of the coal-fired power plants now operating in India and China, the idea of a rise of 4 ppm per year for CO2 is not science fiction.  In light of this, is it ever possible for the radiative forcing of a molecular compound which has been in the atmosphere since the Dinosaur era to rise 70%, in merely 28 years?  

Remember, there was an ice age when the CO2 level was 9 times MORE than today.  That was a rise in CO2 without a catastrophic inferno ensuing.  Then, when there was low CO2 in the atmosphere, there was a two-year global catastrophe of crop failure and famine.  You cannot blame the 1876 tragedy on CO2 or any other greenhouse gas.

Concerning the w/m2 prediction for CO2, one can now suspect yet another error from a computer model prediction.  One can now toss that computer-generated prediction into the bin with the predictions of  ~the Maldives going underwater by 2018 ... ~and the glaciers at Glacier National disappearing by 2020 ... ~England turning into a Siberia by 2018 ... ~East Manhattan slightly going underwater, at least up to a human's ankles ...

... ~and the Arctic Ocean becoming ice-free during August, starting in 2014 ... ~ along with the prediction worldwide crops failures. w/ global famine, that will kill hundreds of millions of people throughout the 1970s, according the most worthless & paranoid fearmongerer of them all, the late Paul Ralph Erhlich who never saw a single one of his doomsday prophecies come true. 

However, 90 to 92 years prior to Ehrlich's doomsday predictions was the GREAT GLOBAL FAMINE.  It occurred between 1876 and 1878, when the CO2 Count was 290 ppm.  Approximately 50-60 million deaths ensued.

 

1878's CO2 Count amounts to 156 ppm LOWER than today's CO2 level, and today is an era of mostly successful crop yields ... with occasional local exceptions, such as the low Italian wine grape yields of 2023 and 2024 which ended up being followed by a record high grape yield in the same land of my Italian ancestors ... okay, my Italian cousins.

Ironically & hypocritically, the most abundant greenhouse gas is WATER VAPOR which leaves behind NO CARBON FOOTPRINT.

Oh, and concerning the sea level around the Statue of Liberty's Liberty Island ... formerly known as Bedloe's Island, the rise was found to have been no more than 0.1184 inches per year which translated into about 11.8 inches per century ... or a foot a century.  If you're European, that amounts to 2.79mm per year.

More important is the reminder that, until 1993, tide gauges did all the measuring of the sea level around Bedloe's Island.  And ever so coincidentally, 1993 was when Al Gore became vice president of the United States. 

None the less, after 1993, uncalibrated satellite usage replaced the tide gauges, and ever so coincidentally, the sea level rise spiked.  It's one of those apples or oranges things.  Observe the following graph, posted pursuant to 17 USC 107:

Heat Dome Science

Now, it was just reported that, in June of 2026, 18 people in France died during a 2026 heatwave.  Well, it was actually during a HEAT DOME which is NOT directly attached to CO2.  Such a thing is attached to a high pressure blocking system which traps air into a state of stagnation.

Moreover, France is 211,000 square miles in size.  Thus, during the heat dome which is provenly NOT caused by CO2 injecting any extra heat into France, there was one death in France for every 11,722 square miles.   

The amount of space covered by 11,700 sq mi is equivalent to you driving 108 miles and making a left for another 108 miles, and then another left for another 108 miles, and a final left for the final 108 miles.

Beware of Skewed Numerical Propaganda

Skewing numbers to convince mankind into submitting to your dictates is an element of fraudulent misrepresentation.  

None the less, all heat deaths deserve a measure of compassion and respectfulness.  The problem today is that the Climate Propagandists show disrespect for the recently dead and presently dying, by howling out propaganda which concludes that the Al Gore & the Michael Mann & the John Kerry People must now rule Planet Earth, and that we all must comply, as if the Ottoman Empire 2.0 returned to enslave & torment humanity all the more.

Now remember, intense Southern European heat, and high pressure blocking system heat has been documented in Southern Europe's media since 1881, when the CO2 level was almost the same as it was during the Italian Renaissance and French Revolution.

Now, there were the reports of ITALY undergoing an intense heatwave in 1852, according to Copernicus.eu.  Yet, 1852 was a time of limited news.  None the less, heatwaves are regarded by the honest as having been a part of the Mediterranean climate, all along ... and not a new occurrence, due to the rise in CO2.

Then came 1881.  Now, the 1896 heatwave was an American experience.  In 1901 and 1906, Europe was visted by heatwaves.  Below is a 1901 news report of the New York Times.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Do you get the point, yet?  Or are you irreparably brainwashed?  The Nazis and Julius Streicher had nothing over the Climate Propagandists of today.  It's merely the same ole same ole.  Only the names of the aspiring dictators change.
