More than 40,000 people in China's Sichuan province have been evacuated because of floods, state media reported on Wednesday, as cloudbursts dropped huge amounts of precipitation over several parts of the country.

    Legitimately, this is how the start of the Solanum virus from the book (not the shitty film) World War Z written by Max Brooks starts and spreads.

    Highly recommended audiobook because Mark Hamill does a voice role in it.

      Suspicious of you to mention that. We have countless floods around the world but you decided to bring up viruses specifically in a China thread.

    Since China (with the US) is one of the major offenders of fossil fuels, I am curious as to whether we see more dramatic climate change impacts in China specifically, or if that impact is going to be diffused across the world. China is a big country.
