    Legitimately, this is how the start of the Solanum virus from the book (not the shitty film) World War Z written by Max Brooks starts and spreads.

    Highly recommended audiobook because Mark Hamill does a voice role in it.

    Since China (with the US) is one of the major offenders of fossil fuels, I am curious as to whether we see more dramatic climate change impacts in China specifically, or if that impact is going to be diffused across the world. China is a big country.

    Surely all of these floods have nothing to do with climate change and we should just keep right on using fossil fuels.
