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.

my hero! thank you for your thoughtful link inclusion. pray tell which should I dl for the audiobook? It's the same file content for both links?

[-] bluejay@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

They're probably the same based on file size

Suspicious of you to mention that. We have countless floods around the world but you decided to bring up viruses specifically in a China thread.

Have you read the book?

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.

Since China is the primary driver of sustainable development globally, I'm excited to see what technology and mitigation strategies they come up with and make available to the world over in the coming decades. China is a big country with huge potential, and they are already making an outsized impact.
