As China Boomed, It Didn’t Take Climate Change Into Account. Now It Must. By Myers, Bradsher & Buckley, 7/26/21, NY Times
China’s breakneck growth over the last 4 decades erected soaring cities where there had been hamlets & farmland. The cities lured factories, & the factories lured workers. The boom lifted hundreds of millions of people
out of the poverty & rural hardship they once faced.
Now those cities face the daunting new challenge of adapting to extreme weather caused by climate change, a possibility that few gave much thought
to when the country began its extraordinary economic transformation. China’s
pell-mell, brisk urbanization has in some ways made the challenge harder
to face.
