Christ..
Isn't that polluted though?
I'm not sure what the level of pollution was in Mao era china
But today cities are polluted
You can see people wearing face masks to walk around cities
That's what massive industrialization does
Half of china is still not industrialized
They're doing it fast though
Recently built the biggest dam in the world
Hydro electric or?
Not sure let me check
Yep
Hydroelectric
That's insane
I just checked that
I haven't seen it before
Three Gorges Dam
The problem is that it's messing with the Yangtze river
People's homes are getting flooded
By how much ?
They can't just cut back on people's lives for the sake of industry
That can't be right
Unfortunately for these people they'll be forced to leave
US is not fighting for climate controls at a good rate either
Recently on the news this entire neighborhood in Virginia was flooded
Half of it is underwater and the rest will be too
And the president doesn't think it's an issue?
Trump?
Yeah
He doesn't think climate is an issue, no
...
Of course not it'd get in the way of trade and industry right?
"And American jobs
"
Such as?
During the campaign he's been talking about coal jobs and how climate controls have gotten rid of them
Coal jobs?
What does he gain from the coal industry?
Not sure what he gains himself but he says Americans are losing jobs
Does he have figures at all?
