I'm very sorry for the danger to these people. Many villagers on the banks of the river won't be so protected. This accident is part of a massive story that we hear too little of--China and Russia are the two dirtiest industrialized countries which, along with huge populations, create huge health risks and long-term economic ruin.

The rivers in China are awful. For 1.25 billion people, water is the most vital necessity. The great Yellow River dries up 1,000 miles from the coast now. Huge engineering projects to pipe water from the north are staggering in their cost and complexity. The Three Georges dam is a sad necessity, but will probably silt up in 20 years, which was why the USA refused to assist with it. Now the Chinese are going to dam the Mekong river which will affect all of Southeast Asia.

If all of our enviro-whackos really cared about mother earth, they'd be moving to China to protest and to help. The USA, with our huge forests and farming acreage, is a net cleanser of the air, not a net polluter. China has ravaged almost all of her forest land and is reaping the consequences in silted rivers, loss of farmland, and destruction of habitat.

they'd be moving to China to protest and to help.

And they'd have China extinguish all the coal mine fires that
are allowed to continue burning and fouling the earth.
ONLY at Free Republic did I see the report issued a few years ago
that revealed that these burning coal pits create about as much pollution
as all the vehicles in the USA.

But don't expect the MSM to utter a peep about it.

They'd help, all right. They'd become fertilizer, courtesy of the Chicom government.
