I’m investigating the proposed huge hydro proposal that China is planning in Tibet. I started doing this back in 2014, ten years ago now, as I speculated on what it might look like.
I wrote three Posts about it at the time, and then haven’t actually written about it since. However, I have been revisiting it three or four times a year, seeing if there is any new information.
I wanted to jump in the deep end so to speak, and write about what I thought it might look like, but I’m basically cautious and didn’t want to look foolish if nothing ever came to pass, or what I speculated on was way wrong. But hey, sometimes you need to commit to something, and now I’m old, I thought I might turn into a frog before it came to pass, and then saying I told you so would be too late and also quite redundant, eh!
However, like I said, I’ve been revisiting it three times or so a year, and here, I can use Google Earth Pro to actually visit the area and, umm, ‘look around’, and unless you have actually used that wonderful resource, you can’t really get an idea of what I’m alluding to here.
Just doing that threw up more questions than answers, and the whole situation is actually quite puzzling really, as it looks like that Google Earth Program being utilised in that area is being, how shall I say, perhaps curated might be a good word, you know, not seeing what we may not want you to see, eh, even knowing that Tibet is part of China, so any satellite images may not be all that, umm, accurate.
The more I actually looked, scrolling in and out in so many different areas, the more I saw that was somehow, well, ‘hinky’, to say the least.
So, I wrote the first Part eight days back, thinking the second Part would follow within a day or so, but again, the more I looked, the more I found, and I needed to try and sort that out. So, that Part two has now been put up at my home site, and in fact, it actually morphed into a Part three, which has only just been started.
This has become something that I never even began to imagine would take so much time investigating things. I’m actually glad I did it, and then wrote it all down, because just saying it is, well, really, just saying it, unless you can (as the teacher might say) show your workings.
Here’s the link to the long Post with some explanatory images as well.

What looks transparent often isn’t if you dig below the surface – out-of-date information, broken links etc. Not surprised, but still dismayed. It could all actually be open. Get’s you wondering on nefarious plans we are not privy to

Tony, this is all very interesting. Projects like this are no longer possible in many countries. {Fun and informative – thanks!}
Grand schemes have been proposed for North America:
NOT Built: The North American Water and Power Alliance (NAWPA) was a proposed continental water management scheme conceived in the 1950s. …diverting water from rivers in Alaska south through Canada via the Rocky Mountain Trench and … would involve 369 separate construction projects.
BUILT: The Columbia Basin Project: irrigation and power made possible by the Grand Coulee Dam [1941] in Washington State.
Downstream from Grand Coulee are more dams: Chief Joseph, Wells, Rocky Reach, Rock Island, Wanapum, and Priest Rapids. Four more on down toward the Pacific Ocean.
80
One of China’s objectives is to control the water supply of a substantial proportion of the world’s population who live downstream of Tibet rivers, in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam.
121
China has a few problems with 85000 dams! It seems authorities often horde water, and when rains come they have no buffering, so it just gets dumped downstream, to relieve pressure on the dam. Also lots of opportunities to skim money out of projects, by cutting corners. 17mins China floods
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMV_xdRv1w8&t=2s
21
How much water hoarding is actually possible? When the dam is full the same amount must be let out as comes in.
If water is used to generate electricity then it has to be let out and flow further downstream.
Then again, how much of the water at the mouth of the Ganges actually originates in Tibet?

UK Government says ‘error in law’ on coalmine decision

BBC quotes ‘The new Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, Angela Rayner’ – Red Ange.
Not the Department of Energy Security …
“At full production it would produce 2.78 million tonnes a year.
“The company claims it would create 500 highly-skilled jobs with up to 1,500 more in the supply chain.”
China burns 3,000,000 tonnes of coal every six hours.

You would think they would be telling all the other young men coming up that joining the military is a life-destroying job and don’t do it.

Why a climate scientist’s moment of truth became a complicated story to report
By Stephanie Hames
https://www.csmonitor.com/Podcasts/Why-We-Wrote-This/wwwt_2424
About Patrick Brown’s reporting of wild fire truth but the best part is this:
Yes Stephanie, we know the planet has warmed since the LIA, maybe still warming (a bit), and few if any serious skeptics deny this.
But that is not the issue – the issue is attribution, or miss-attribution, as the case may be.

My issue today is whether I will get the wood burner fired up before coffee or after.
I appreciate the Victorian State forests for the community wood they provide.
The scientists working atop the Greenland plateau must be seriously concerned about the warming they are getting in January. It is up 10C over the last 70 years. This is Climate Change™ on steroids. The horror of minus 25C rather than minus the more acceptable 35C.
Most warming in Australia is occurring in July – has anyone noticed? Southern Australia south of the Tropic of Capricorn up by about 3C in July over the satellite era. February temperature from Brisbane to Perth are lower by about 1C. There is, on average, anomalous warming but simply because July is warming more than February is cooling. As inland Australia gains more moisture and vegetation, the temperature range is moderating. Oh! the horror of Climate Change™.
Only a moron could actually believe that CO2 causes an energy imbalance on Earth. But there are many people who depend on this scam for their livelihoods.
All the people who work on Dutton’s nuclear plan will benefit from the Climate Change™ scam. But China and India will burn a humungous amount of coal over the coming decades and nuclear offers a long-term benefit so little to lose in building that capability.
Melbourne today not much different to Macquarie Island:
https://www.antarctica.gov.au/antarctic-operations/webcams/macquarie-island/
Can you tell me how CO2 is warming Macquarie island today! I can tell you that any long wave radiation leaving the ocean surface will all be absorbed in the first 10m in that pea soup called the atmosphere.

Biden, addressing a room full of world leaders, just introduced Ukraine’s President Zelensky as “President Putin”.
Could it get any worse? Is it time to invest in popcorn while the Democrat party and Dr. Jill craft more and more hilarious excuses?
120
And he has apparently called Kamala Harris, ‘Vice President Trump’, the poor sod is well past it.

As long as he doesn’t call George Clooney Taylor Swift, his base will not notice a problem.

Neither did Starmer during a meeting with Biden notice any problem with him! So we were to understand from an interview with Starmer on GBNews I heard earlier today.
It confirmed my opinion of Starmer.

Starmer is a Gooner. That is English slang for an ARS#nal supporter, The UK is now stuffed.

Biden is an embarrassment to democracy. He is not saving democracy. The democrats have no choice because they will not vote for Trump so that means the will not vote. So Trump is a certainty while Biden is the other presidential candidate.
Trump could well end up with the highest ever winning margin. Imagine how that would grate on democrats.

We can only wish, but I can’t see that happening while “the system” is in place and US elections are “fortified”.

The most recent polls say Biden and Trump are still neck and neck. How reliable they are I don’t know. As usual, the actual result will depend on the ‘undecideds’ or, more likely, mysterious malarkey.

Skip the puppet CNN type polls.
The REALITY is Trump around 90% and Biden under 10%.
At this point Biden couldn’t get a job as a spell checker at an M&M factory.

” …charged Sarian with 32 counts of sexual intercourse without consent, three counts of carrying out a sexual act without consent and two counts of sexual touching without consent. The number of alleged victims and charges would make Sarian one of the most prolific rapists in Sydney if the charges are proven at trial – but legal minds are watching closely because the case will be a major test of new consent laws. Those laws were introduced in NSW two years ago following the advocacy of Saxon Mullins. One of the lesser-known changes, “fraudulent inducement”, protects sex workers from clients who deceitfully promise money but then hand over an empty envelope or a dud cheque.”
Another fine example of extra laws we don’t need. This guy gets charged with rape, ie forcing sex on someone who does definitely not consent. Then you find out he hired sex workers who quite happily had sex with him, but then paid them with dud cheques.
So he should be charged with breaking a contract, or fraud, a perfectly normal thing for anyone saying they will pay you for something and then not paying, but no, someone had to try and make their name famous by introducing even more expensive laws to make a special case out of not paying prostitutes.

All of the post 2015 data is natural variation – nothing to do with CO2.
Especially the 2023/24 spike at the end at +1.63 against the +1.5 “limit”.
They cannot claim any of that in their “1.5C limit” deliberations.
And how does CO2 explain the Change of Slope from flat to steep at 1975?
Watts:

Gee Aye scolded me for using, as he put it, the “made up” term natural variation that he deemed “meaningless”.

” 1850–1900 pre-industrial average”
Are they saying our measuring of the world’s temperature in 1850 was as accurate as now? We knew the whole world’s temperature to within a tenth of a degree to get that baseline?
Its just amazing where our taxes get spent!
60
>“Media Reports Earth’s ‘1.5C Temperature limit’ was ‘breached for 12 months in a row’

Except their miss-attributed run is at an end – crisis averted.
ERA5 World well below 2023 in July:

Tropics now equal to 2023 and about to go below it. Only +.1 above 2015:

https://climatereanalyzer.org/clim/t2_daily/?dm_id=tropics
That CR data lags real-time by about a week so need to look at the recent near real-time fluctuation at CP:
https://pulse.climate.copernicus.eu/
SST says it all; a bit of positive fluctuation just recently but the trajectory is down. If SST is falling instead of rising there’s no chance of air temp rising like last year.

Australia is Screwed – How Not to do Business in Australia
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the latest inflation figure for Australia is 4% for the month of May 2024. This is the highest level in 2024
Looking at changing Gas & Electricty Suppliers, as Red Energy Increase 1 July 2024 well over 40% on current plan
and after going through https://www.energymadeeasy.gov.au/ site and getting comparisons based on Gas Bills last year
A Different Red Energy Plan came out with lowest Gas Plan, out of the 3 lowest.
When compared to high winter Gas Bill last year. the increase was only 35% (Hey a saving over 40%), House Insurance only 29.1% Increase this year vs 34.8% last year (beggars can’t be choosy) – Land Tax this year down to 13.4% Increase but only increased Tenants rent 6.4%.
What the Idiot State Labor Governments don’t realise is their horrendous Land Tax Increases are totally the repsonsibilty of Commercial Enterprises under a Commericial Lease, so coupled with Gas Increase of 35+% & with a Momentum Electricty Energy Increase in the Off Peak Rate of 50%, no wonder Australian Businesses & Manufacturing are going broke!

One of the big supermarkets is displaying it’s “green” credentials by replacing all their metal trolleys with green plastic trolleys (with metal frames). Some of the trolleys have a sign attached claiming each one is made from at least 17 recycled plastic bottles, as if that’s a good thing.
Of course there is no mention of how much CO2 is emitted in getting the plastic to a business where it can be manufactured into plastic for trolleys, manufacture into trolleys, manufacture of the metal frames for the trolleys and transport of the trolleys to individual supermarkets. Then there is the collection and removal of the replaced metal trolleys, and disposal of the replaced metal trolleys.

“While workshops are designed to enhance skills and knowledge, they have, unfortunately, become a breeding ground for unethical behavior among some civil servants. The misuse of these events for personal gain and illicit activities has not only tarnished the reputation of the civil service but also disrupted the personal lives of those involved.
The unchecked proliferation of workshops has had a particularly damaging effect on marriages within the civil service community. The frequent travel and extended time away from home have provided opportunities for infidelity and promiscuity among some unethical individuals. This behavior has eroded trust and stability within families, leading to increased marital discord and, in some cases, divorce.
