   The Yangtze also flooded like this exactly 100 years ago, in 1911; according to some websites, about 3.7 million people were left homeless at that time – via Google News, I’m looking at a page from the Montreal Gazette from 7th Oct 1911, which gives a figure of 10,000 as having drowned (other sources say 100,000 deaths, overall) and more than a million facing starvation. There is no doubt that if a repeat happened this year, these people would be called “climate refugees” by the world’s media, and we’d be told that the situation called for urgent action on CO2.

     “we’d be told that the situation called for urgent action on CO2.”

     It would accelerate their nutty demands for carbon rations, which have already been proposed in the UK and Australia.
