About the Book

A hot wave that has lasted for 11 weeks and a drought that has set a new record are creating widespread disruption in China. China has been using more coal as a result of decreased energy production from hydroelectric dams. Several communities in the city of Chengdu, which serves as the capital of Sichuan Province, did not have access to power for more than ten hours every day. The intense heat caused flames to break out in the mountains and woods that are located on the outskirts of Chongqing. As a result of the drought, many of rivers and reservoirs in the area have lost all of their water. The Yangtze River has decreased in size to the point that ocean-going vessels can no longer access the ports located farther upstream.

There is a possibility that severe weather will have an effect on the global community's efforts to slow climate change. Beijing has attempted to compensate for some of the hydropower that was lost as a result of the drought by increasing the number of coal-fired power facilities. The fact that China relies so heavily on fossil fuel calls into doubt the country's commitment to reducing carbon emissions.
