      However, the concern about the Three Gorges Dam is real. The detrimental effects of climate change simply could not be predicted during the design and construction, and it is causing a lot of concerns if it will fail within the next decade.

      The Chinese are still not the ones I would expect to bear the brunt of this, they pour more concrete in 3 years than the US has done in the 21st century, the current crisis is serious, and it's clear based on this season that measures should be taken to rectify the problem.

      That being said it's much more likely that the US, with its ageing infrastructure and political plutocracy will see more horrific consequences of climate change especially since those in power do not seem to give 2 shits about the people on the ground.
