While the left panics about my carbon footprint....
A record 30.5 billion tonnes of industrial, farming and human waste were dumped last year into China’s Yangtze River, the country’s longest, state media reported.
The quantity was twice as much as two decades ago and an increase of 900 million tonnes, or 3.1 percent, from the previous year, Xinhua news agency said late Tuesday.
The widespread dumping of industrial, agricultural and domestic waste has seriously polluted the Yangtze, a situation some ecologists warn will be worsened by the massive Three Gorges dam, which they say will create a “giant toilet bowl” of trapped sewage behind it.
