A Wild Ride in China

An adventure ride down a section of China's Yangtze River could be the last before planned hydroelectric dams flood the rapids and alter the landscape.

So much nonsense in youtube. 99% here doesn't know shit of what they're talking about. They are either:

1. Going with the flow without knowning any facts.

2. Defending their country without any facts.

3. Pointing fingers to other countries without the facts.

Everyone should gather around some facts, whining and accusing won't help the pollution.

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
