Why isn't this being blamed on Global WarmingTM amidst calls for China to stop building coal-fired power plants and generally revert back to their accustomed Third-World status?

Communist Scum.

Possible. The dam is upstream from Wuhan.

Do you expect the media to write about problems in the people’s paradise?

That 1,400 cubic feet of water released from the dam can’t be right. Just a drop in the river.

That's for sure -

A small cube measuring a little over 11 feet per side holds 1,400 cubic feet.

Fossil fuel caused it, too. It can cause both global warming and cooling simultaneously. If climate turns bad in any way, it should be pinned on fossil fuel.

How can this be, since they’ve claimed the ability to control the weather over there since the Olympics? /sarc
