Wasn’t there once a claim that large dams and reservoirs in the Northern Hemisphere are causing the Earth to “wobble” more on its axis, thus causing extreme changes in weather? LOL!

"Three Gorges is a great laboratory for studying how well local climate changes caused by very local land-use changes can be detected and distinguished from larger-scale global climate change."

And since it was constructed by peasant labor, its ultimate collapse will also be a great laboratory.

Why isn’t Al Gore writing a book on this right now?

Well then, Greenpeace will just have to mount an eco-guerilla operation to take that sucker down.

actual meteorological data suggest that the reservoir is cooling its valley,

I see a solution to a problem here people. More dams = more cooling.

In all, a whopping 62 square miles of land are expected to see weather effects from the dam, he said.

What? That's only 10 miles by 6.2 miles. Nothing.

Of course the dam is large enough to affect weather. The Pyramids at Giza changed the weather in the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea so it hasn’t rained much since construction.

Another stunning DUH moment by the geniuses in charge. Every major dam project in the world has changed the climate.
