What a double standard. They want to do have a bit of development to feed their massive energy needs. Using a non polluting sustainable resource. Those hippies are retarded and so is national geographic for giving them a soapbox to preach from.
she's weeping over a waterfall? it was a piss dribble. she spent an hour there? Liar! that is what they do, lie to acheve their goals. sad thing is they believe their own lies. build the dam and people will have electricity and a lake to fish, swim, water ski, canoe, snorkle, picnic at, houseboat on, ice fish, ice skate, play hockey, and water for wildlife. Instead some yuppie wants to smoke pot an go "wow dude. nature. Far Out... Sheesh. Such idiots
Man its stupid how bad the West makes China look..3rd World Communists? So what. Let'em live how they want. China is beautiful in my opinion. Btw I live in Oregon
who the fuck cares,, i aint going on no fuckin river rapid rides to china??? dam that shit hole i mean damn that shit hole- china let them eat Melamine french fries!!! and put melamine in their Pepsi send it there,, put shit in our drywall send it there,, dump medical waste there, overfish there,, send them toys for their kids with Cadmium at 90
this is the problem with technologies its getting so advance and so modern that our lives are depending on it . nature is always a piece of art and no on can take that away
So why is the dam being built? If the dam isn't built, what about all the people with no electricity? If there is an alternative way of getting power then the dam shouldn't be built, but if all other options do not work then the dam seems like the necessary thing to do. Recreational sports and saving the environment sometimes won't be enough to stop a country's decision when the people are suffering now.
I think it is the easiest way to get power for them. Hydroelectric would probably be safer and Cheaper than producing another nuclear reactor. I mean come on where would they bury another hundred tons of radioactive waste.
This video is so biased. They should only talk about how not building the dam would actually benefit the locals. Their elaborate reasoning actually boils down to "screw all those people who won't have electricity. I, as a foreigner, want to ride down this river." Realize that this sport is not even important to the CHINESE people, and they are trying to make it important.
floating along the Yangzi river does nothing to saveguard the environment, giving too much hope to this activity is nonsense. Living there for life is different from just having site seeing. there are already bunch of routines developped for tourism, but having people to think about "the great nature" in a country of income per person is just tenth of americans is something else.
I honestly don't think of China as a third world country or underdeveloped country because they make pretty much everything and anything you can find in your bedroom, and Shanghai is the largest city in China and very modern, and they had the Olympics in Beijing. Some parts are still underdeveloped, but its the same with U.S. having rednecks towards the south. Chicago is a modernized city, but drive 2 hours going south and you find shirtless rednecks everywhere, some with no front teeth! LOL
China uses coal, it's bad. China uses hydropower, it's... Bad? When will they ever stop bitching?
"The Chinese won't be able to experience this beauty anymore."
Real Chinese people don't have the time because they're too busy working their ass off to survive. So build that fucking dam and let people enjoy electricity.
I think that China needs to be weighing the benefits and risks to building the dams. If you build it you are saving tons of carbon emissions from ever going into the air by providing people with a cleaner energy source. On the other hand you are changing the local habitat which alters the animals living there and also the local river culture. It's a tough decision because apparently you can't have it both ways...
I'm sure all the Chinese people that will get a better lifestyle because of this dam aren't complaining as much as these stupid white tourists. I'm sure he wouldn't trade electricity in his own home for a trip down that river!
the dam also solves problem of big floods that kept happening like every ten years and the floods kill thousands of people
it is sad that people had to move and make way for the construction, all that landscape and historical treasures had to be covered by water, but the dam seems to have more pros than cons
same here, being chinese, i have several views on this, i am against dam constructions as it changes the landscape however, without creating a dam, there will be no more cleaner energy but if people continues to destroy their homes then f it, i'm going to be pissed
Damning a river at a part where no one goes is better than burning fossil fuels. However, China and the rest of the world need more "Advanced Geothermal Systems"
china has just recently changed, they were a pretty backwards country before. i guess later on after theyve settled with this modernization theyll start worrying about things like pollution. im sure england didn't care about wrecking the environment during the industrial revolution, its the same with china.
and remember most consider them to be on their second industrial revolution.
It;s a very large country, it has the largest cities in the world, and te most people. Pollution has been a problem that has been being addressed in the many large cities for quite a number of years. It's a large country, so they do out rural town.
Don't be so quick to think they are so below you, when your life would drastically change of not for china providing you with cheap plastic modern man crap made in the numerous dorm room live in factories. They also have the largest military, and the most weapons. All computer analyses show that china can defeat any country, including the US. Not bad for such a backwoods nation.
Are you stupid? Their culture is different. But china has been a super power well in the mix of the industrial revolution since it began. They're on their second one now. China was never a "backwards country" not ever. They led the race, above and beyond all other nations when it comes to polluting. All your products come from china, and have been coming from industrialized china for quite a very long time. Made In China is probably under your ass right now,lol
China take accounts for 21% of carbon emission of the world's total, USA follows for 20%, there's no too much difference in this regard, and if you consider carbon emission per person, then americans are the biggiest polluters.
That;s not even true. China has 17 of the 20 most polluting cities in the world. I don't think the US is even in the top 20. The US is one of the top recyclers.
I know you want to hate the big bad US. and that is fine, there is much to hate. But attempting to justify the world's number one polluter with you're bias hatred, is a mistake. You must stop
I'm talking this with no bias and I'm trying hard to convey my point that a country like China, there is no easy solution for pollution, the case holds the same for america. and we are not only talking about the polltuion in the cities, CO2 would leak into the atmosphere regardless where it is emitted if you learn staticstics, you should view this problem as a whole, not just confined by city by city
oh bullshit. You came in here and said but but but look at the US bla bla bla
That is not looking at the whole. That is you saying china can do w/e the fuck she wants, bec you been fed a media lie that the US is some how magically this huge polluter. The US pollutes. and we fight that. But do not excuse china with lame ass look the the US media hype BULLSHIT
arguring with me using so rash words, you are showing that you are defending your country, so what's wrong to defend my country with solid figures? america is not lagging far behind with his 20% carbon emission contribution
You are so retarded. This video is about China getting a damn. Which I said that is okay with me, damn a river at a part where no one goes, sweet. Much better than burning fossil fuels. But i would also like to see China get more "Advanced Geothermal Systems"
Now just what the fuck does that have to do with the US? Not a god damn thing. now seriously leave me the fuck alone, you ignorant twit. I will not bother reading your stupid comments, that are full of lies anyway. fuck off
Well, you talk like you know your shit, then why the hell isn't America setting an example? Don't give me crap like how China is the most polluted country in the world, yes I know that, that is only because of our massive population. If America had the same population as China, America would be far at the top for the biggest polluters. But you see, China has already tried to do something about this overwhelmingly population.
There is no excuse for being such an ignorant poulter as china is. None whatsoever.
Stop trying to excuse the world's number one polluter, by pointing fingers at a country (the US) that isn't even in the top ten of polluters. Am I "stupid"? NO
Why? building another nuclear reactor would cause more waste. And oh Clearing a huge amount of forest for windmills and Solar power generators wont help either. I Guess your pretty DUMB.
I never once mentioned anyone should build a nuclear reactor. nor would I. Nor would I advocate cutting down any forest. Not a fan of wind mills either.
I guess you like to make up stuff, and then argue against what YOU made up. fucking stupid IDIOT! fuck off loser
Still playing the idiot guessing game. I said over and over "advanced geothermal systems" can bring clean energy to most any pace in the world.
stop making up shit, and then arguing against yourself, you stupid fucking freeloading youtube dime a dozen LAAA HOO SERRR that never contributes anything at all. just a BIG DUMB MOUTH.
I heard you like to take a straw and suck your boyfriends cum out of your own asshole with a Mcdonalds straw. Ms fuck mommy and daddy, my god so original are your insults, why you're overflowing wit creativity, as is evident with all your great videos! LMAO
Haha, exactly. They have no fucking idea what it's like, it's not like they ever lived a day without food.
They have no idea what it's like for the developing countries having to battle climate change yet somehow manage it's economy and yet still make the citizens happy.
Isn't it everyone's planet? We are all responsible for the damage caused We use nature for our benefit all the time but, it's like taking money outta the bank and never making a deposit. I think damage control should be greater than progress for all countries who want to create such a critical change. The fact is, we know more than we did about global warming etc and can at least identify and attempt a solution along with plans for progress.
Why is the white boy traveling our rivers and trying to tell us what to do?
Sure the scenery is nice for YOU, but you live in a first world country and you don't lack basic living standards that other Chinese people face. Would you trade all the electricity and highways for a prettier river in your country? Of course not.
The paper I wrote for my environmental science class spelled out exactly what the Chinese government is doing here, as long as they incorporate bypasses for fauna. wow.
i understand almost all countries burn coal but the amount of coal china burns is ashtounishing and is going to cause a lot more future problems for your country then what the energy made from the burned coal did.
bc, last semester of college we studied about the global warming crap, and how much a country pollutes etc. i can give you a link to my cited information that i found that is located on my usb drive. but i doubt that is necessary.
sure china pollutes alot, thats only due to their population.the us has 1/3 of china's population and its polluting more.the US is the Richest and most powerful country in the world.the United States alone uses up 25% of the worlds resources.the United States is also the BIGGEST country that buys natural gas and oil.most poor people in the US is considered rich in many countries.India and China is on the list bc of their population.not bc of their lusty desire for richs and a lavish life
Are you stoned? The US polluting more than China? Have you ever been to China? I have and let me tell you this, I have never seen as much trash and chemical sludge in my life as i did in China. Also the air pollution in the 50-60 places I have been in China is rivaled only by Mexico city. Check your facts before you go off.
douche,read the facts.i can careless what you saw in ur visit in china.china only pollutes the same amount as the US bc of its population!US only has 1/3 of china's population you douche!and any living and breathing thing on earth will emit Co2! i've down my research and i gotten an freaking A+ on it! how about you go ahead and do yours?many parts of china is 10x cleaner than here (the US).my claims are based on facts, and yours are just on opinion!
and another thing. even though china may pollute alot. china is doing more research into eco-friendly energy alternatives. china is doing more than the US. not saying that the US isnt doing anything. but being considered the bigger doner of green gas. the US should be excepted to be doing more than less
And that is why China is coming from a new direction, dumbass, you expect China, to not pollute at all? If we burned coal, you complain, now we are trying a greener way to produce electricity for the people and yet you complain again. How about you shut your mouth and do something about your country first? Because after all, America is coming second to China for the biggest polluters, even though China has a far greater population.
You stupid fuk. China emits the same amount of pollutants as the US and it has 5 times the population. So per person basis, it emits far less. Most people ride bikes or mopeds which is far more energy efficient than your stupid SUVs. Btw, America had a free ride during the industrial revolution in the 1800s. Nobody complained there.
No one complained because it was new and no one knew the consequences about what we were doing and they did not have the technology for alternatives.
playing the, because you got to means i should to, card is being childish and idiotic at best
research renewable resources which in the long run will cost less than going to war with India or the United states for energy resources. and having to rebuild the infrastructure that is set around fossil fuels.
i dont know why you are using the word "your" as for i am not American nor do i live in America.
and this whole argument was air pollution ( which china emits the most of because it relies on inferior and dirty ways to get power ) but i dont think that hard head of yours can understand that.
America / Europe did plenty of that back in the industrial revolution in the 1800s. You guys got a free ride. What do you think ran the steam engines? Thats right, COAL.
Go build a time machine and change history and maybe I'll listen to you. Otherwise, STFU. Btw, I have a chemical engineering degree. I don't need your input on energy and pollution.
You and er45nie obviously never took a single class in economics. You really think a country would slow its economic growth by 30+ years by opting for a more expensive less feasible energy source? Dream on.
IDIOT, we are talking about NOW not 200 years ago, China emittes the most air pollution in the world, stop trying to deny it! im not trying to insult you or china but you need to stop being so ignorant.
note people in the bottom fact china do have the world largest pollution but they also have the world largest population but they do not cause most pollution per person America do since a average America is the world largest consumer in energy per one average person note also many of the factors that cause pollution in china are own by americans run company
i know i shouldn't but in but your both kind of right so i even it out
omg you are dumb as a rock arnt you? you just DONT understand anything!
ill try it one last time. nothing of what you said MATTERS! the 1800's, higher population, none of your shenanigans. THIS DEBATE was the fact that CHINA releases the most AIR POLLUTION IN THE WORLD! you understand? good. now stfu and accept it.
Well dumbass, that's why China is making a bigger effort to change, we have already controlled the population and now building this dam for cleaner energy, what have you done...? Don't push the problem on to others, you Americans can never blame yourselves.
i dont think you even KNOW what we were arguing about, dont you?
and you keep trying to change the subject to other things such as the 1800's and what not which has nothing to do with what we were arguing about.
and then you start insulting me ( your accusing me of insulting you, i only insult back if someone insults me first, which you did ) and calling me a dumb American.
( im not american )
you made a big deal over nothing and just made your self look like a fool.
why the hell are you talking to me then? some idiot was making a fool of himself then you showed up to take his place. wtf? go look at the comments and you will see.
note people in the bottom fact china do have the world largest pollution but they also have the world largest population but they do not cause most pollution per person America do since a average America is the world largest consumer in energy per one average person note also many of the factors that cause pollution in china are own by americans run company

What the FUCK is a National Geographic Young Explorer? How do become this?! And this is horrible... thanks a bunch overpopulation of china, this is why i wish tibet was free.
fuck india, such a trashy place. their best metropolitan areas will never hold a candle to chinese cities. tibet is a huge area with a very low non-dense population compared to the rest of china. i dunno of any nations within india that rival the untamed vastness of tibet. sucks china has to exploit them.
On some level, the chinese people have chosen this as their legacy. The prioritization of energy over environment. Exactly as the US has. I neither feel bad nor blame them however. Hydroelectric is much cleaner than fossil fuels, so I suppose it should be encouraged.
What a double standard. They want to do have a bit of development to feed their massive energy needs. Using a non polluting sustainable resource. Those hippies are retarded and so is national geographic for giving them a soapbox to preach from.

I never once mentioned anyone should build a nuclear reactor. nor would I. Nor would I advocate cutting down any forest. Not a fan of wind mills either.

Isn't it everyone's planet? We are all responsible for the damage caused We use nature for our benefit all the time but, it's like taking money outta the bank and never making a deposit. I think damage control should be greater than progress for all countries who want to create such a critical change. The fact is, we know more than we did about global warming etc and can at least identify and attempt a solution along with plans for progress.

Sure the scenery is nice for YOU, but you live in a first world country and you don't lack basic living standards that other Chinese people face. Would you trade all the electricity and highways for a prettier river in your country? Of course not.

i hope you know, burning coal is used in EVERY country that is developed! burning coal is needed to create electricity and energy!
why would they stop? the have millions of people who need energy. we wont stop burning coal. who would? PSHHH
rickiex 2 years ago
i understand almost all countries burn coal but the amount of coal china burns is ashtounishing and is going to cause a lot more future problems for your country then what the energy made from the burned coal did.
dardraa 2 years ago
actually, the united states is considered the country that pollutes the most
(i live int he US)
rickiex 2 years ago
we are talking about coal here. btw where do you get your statistics?
dardraa 2 years ago
bc, last semester of college we studied about the global warming crap, and how much a country pollutes etc. i can give you a link to my cited information that i found that is located on my usb drive. but i doubt that is necessary.
rickiex 2 years ago
a quick fact i just found. "China produces more air pollution then any three other countries." which the other would be US and another
dardraa 2 years ago
sure china pollutes alot, thats only due to their population.the us has 1/3 of china's population and its polluting more.the US is the Richest and most powerful country in the world.the United States alone uses up 25% of the worlds resources.the United States is also the BIGGEST country that buys natural gas and oil.most poor people in the US is considered rich in many countries.India and China is on the list bc of their population.not bc of their lusty desire for richs and a lavish life
rickiex 2 years ago 2
Are you stoned? The US polluting more than China? Have you ever been to China? I have and let me tell you this, I have never seen as much trash and chemical sludge in my life as i did in China. Also the air pollution in the 50-60 places I have been in China is rivaled only by Mexico city. Check your facts before you go off.
StopTheMonster 2 years ago
douche,read the facts.i can careless what you saw in ur visit in china.china only pollutes the same amount as the US bc of its population!US only has 1/3 of china's population you douche!and any living and breathing thing on earth will emit Co2! i've down my research and i gotten an freaking A+ on it! how about you go ahead and do yours?many parts of china is 10x cleaner than here (the US).my claims are based on facts, and yours are just on opinion!
rickiex 2 years ago
and another thing. even though china may pollute alot. china is doing more research into eco-friendly energy alternatives. china is doing more than the US. not saying that the US isnt doing anything. but being considered the bigger doner of green gas. the US should be excepted to be doing more than less
rickiex 2 years ago
And that is why China is coming from a new direction, dumbass, you expect China, to not pollute at all? If we burned coal, you complain, now we are trying a greener way to produce electricity for the people and yet you complain again. How about you shut your mouth and do something about your country first? Because after all, America is coming second to China for the biggest polluters, even though China has a far greater population.
Elisaranna 2 years ago
You stupid fuk. China emits the same amount of pollutants as the US and it has 5 times the population. So per person basis, it emits far less. Most people ride bikes or mopeds which is far more energy efficient than your stupid SUVs. Btw, America had a free ride during the industrial revolution in the 1800s. Nobody complained there.
ke422azn 2 years ago 5
No one complained because it was new and no one knew the consequences about what we were doing and they did not have the technology for alternatives.
playing the, because you got to means i should to, card is being childish and idiotic at best
research renewable resources which in the long run will cost less than going to war with India or the United states for energy resources. and having to rebuild the infrastructure that is set around fossil fuels.

China also has 1.3 billion people retard, which is almost 6x that of the US. What matters is the per capita basis.

does it matter how much people china has? it doesn't change the fact that it emits the most pollution. stop trying to work your way around it.
dardraa 2 years ago
note people in the bottom fact china do have the world largest pollution but they also have the world largest population but they do not cause most pollution per person America do since a average America is the world largest consumer in energy per one average person note also many of the factors that cause pollution in china are own by americans run company
i know i shouldn't but in but your both kind of right so i even it out

On some level, the chinese people have chosen this as their legacy. The prioritization of energy over environment. Exactly as the US has. I neither feel bad nor blame them however. Hydroelectric is much cleaner than fossil fuels, so I suppose it should be encouraged.
