China feels the hot global warming


There were floods in China itself. Fires and unprecedented hot weather raged through Siberia and other parts of Russia, including a formerly glacial area north of China. In any case, one could easily surmise many likely consequences of global warming around China. Tibetan glaciers could slowly melt, causing floods in all directions: in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Indochina, along the Mekong River, and then in China proper. Whole areas in South Asia - possibly large parts of  Bangladesh Could be flooded.

Land would then materially shrink in regions that are already some of the most densely populated and the poorest on the globe.
