Week 10: Extreme weather

     China's past extreme weather events have included droughts, floods, heatwaves, and cold snaps. A previous example could be how The Guangdong province recently experienced a once-in-a-century flood. The heavy rainfall caused severe flooding in the region, resulting in significant damage to infrastructure and property. The local government responded quickly to the crisis, mobilizing rescue teams and providing emergency aid to affected residents. Despite the challenges, the people of Guangdong have shown resilience and solidarity in the face of this occurrence. 

    These type of events have mainly been caused by a combination of natural factors such as changes in ocean currents and atmospheric pressure, as well as human activities like deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions. The impacts of these extreme weather events have been devastating, causing crop failures, infrastructure damage, and loss of life. It is important for China to continue to monitor and address the causes of these extreme weather events in order to mitigate their impacts on the country and its people.
