#1 China just needs to get Halliburton connected to this somehow and then we'll have lefties swinging from the rafters demanding that the US send aid.

#2 Rupert Wingfield Hayes is one of the BBC's pet morons. His reporting on Afghanistan was just some of the most moronic crap I have ever seen, ripe with the generalizations necessary for "reporters" who are too scared, lazy or appreciative of creature comforts to go to the front lines. I doubt his China reporting is any better - note the graphic accompanying the article on the supposed link between global warming and industry (when the actual cause is the sun getter hotter). Anything the BBC reports that has anything to do with the environment should be taken with buckets of salt.

#3 They should have the North Koreans draft an appropriate triumphal press release for them, quickly before somebody notices that anti-imperialist non-capitalists are bad for the enviroment.

#4 Thank you, Zhang Fei, for the background on this particular journalistic cretin. Wingfield-Hayes is the one who wrote the ~~drivel~~ glowing article titled "On Chinaâs fast-track to luxury" that I posted yesterday.

He consistently fails to mention any downside of the massively top-heavy Chinese regime while spouting all sorts of positivistic twaddle, even when it is directly contradicted by common knowledge or outright facts.

This idjit needs some intensive clue-bat therapy.

#5 Sounds like an efficient use of resources. What good is having the Yellow River reach the ocean? It then becomes unusable. Might as well use it up before it gets there.

#6 "The Origin of the Yellow River" by I.P. Daily.

An oldie but a goodie.

#7 Isn't this the river that flooded like a mother a last year and burst through its banks and levys? Could that be part of why it isn't flowing to the ocean: it is busy making lakes?

Next we'll hear about how the Yangtze is Drying up while they fill the resevoir behind the ~~Fuck You Econazis~~ Three Gorges Dam.

Schmucks the lot of them.

#8 more research. I'll bet that this guy is all pissed
off at the Xiaolangdi Multipurpose Dam Project
which is part of a flood control/power generation
plan for the Yellow River. Mayhap they're filling it up, too?

Fortunately, Green power in China probably means stoking the furnaces *with* greens.
