Computer models show heat waves in north Pacific may be due to China reducing aerosols​

A team of oceanographers and planetary scientists at the Ocean University of China, working with a pair of colleagues from the U.S. and one in Germany, has found via computer modeling, that recent heat waves in the north Pacific may be due to a large reduction in aerosols emitted by factories in China.

The article does not mention China and the fact that the increase in renewables was only possible because of China's "overcapacity".

Cleaner air from China is the cause of the heat wave. They must thank India for their pollution for preventing the heat from worsening.

I don't get why Chinese Wind turbine exports are so small, just looking at revenue numbers it seems as if Chinese Wind power like Goldwind is around 3 times cheaper than the like of Vestas, but it doesn't translate into some massive competitive advantage on the international market.

Transportation over land is a big issue, I think. Turbine blades are massive. Offshore is quickly becoming a big business though, and that might be a better trade opportunity. You can potentially have final assembly done on the shore on sort of a dock, load directly onto a ship, then transport to the site straight away for installation without ever touching land.
