Byline: ANI London, November 12 (ANI): Environmentalists have warned that the Yangtze River basin in China is being increasingly affected by extreme weather and its ecosystems are under threat.
Prior to Hurricane Katrina, the two largest events in terms of total damage were Hurricane Andrew in 1992, which took down 60,000 homes and racked up $30,000,000,000 worth of damage, and the flooding of China's Yangtze River basin in 1998, which also cost an estimated $30,000,000,000, a sum comparable to the value of China's rice harvest.
blocking off the river and putting up a dam will destroy the entire ecology of the Yangtze River basin but if it leads to earthquakes the population of hundreds of millions living in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze will become fish and turtles
