1931 The change coming in Chinas dams and Pakistan’s floods.

Geoff is being shown more of the change coming up.

(Geoff) I’m getting a lot of views of water. First, I’ve got a dam, which started to break at the top, with more and more water coming over the top of the dam. I’ve got a lot of floods, a lot of bodies. And I’ve got nature sort of taking over the rivers again, the rivers, the lakes and the dams.

I think when, with this climate change, when it gets out of hand, they will try and balance the changes that have been made. You’ve got some huge dams, especially in China, where they’ve dammed up just thousands of square miles, and fifty billion tons of water.

What they’ve done is they’ve got it all backed up. So downstream where they used to have steady water going through it, for the last 10 to 15 years, that was restricted because the dam was slowly filling up, so water wasn’t coming through. So that rift has dried out, and as it starts to dry out, the vegetation has started to change all the way down to the sea.

You’ve got the same thing in Pakistan, where they’ve had floods, and the floods have sent things out of balance.   When an area is flooded, the vegetation sees this as being a more common thing, a more common seasonal thing, so therefore it starts to adapt and change to suit these new floods.

So, I think it’s getting very much out of whack in a lot of different ways, and that’s going to create both good and bad. Now where you get, for example, Pakistan, which we’re looking at now, all the people there, the floodwaters are rising, because the vegetation isn’t holding anymore. Floodwaters are rising, and they’re taking over the houses, so those people must move.

What they’re going to do is simply move to a different area. A lot will just stay until they literally have to move, and they’ll move a short distance, but others will move further distance away, and what will happen is they’ll get onto a much more solid ground, more solid farming ground, and then nature will change that particular ground. It will become more productive, more active, and so on and so on.

So that’s how nature will start to correct the past there. If we go back to the dam, below the dam where it’s been dried out for 10 or 12 years, they’re now used to not having so much water, so therefore less crops will grow. Nutrition isn’t near as good as it used to be, and that doesn’t only affect the flora and fauna, it affects the animals as well, because your smaller animals, your insects, your moles, and so on, are eating the grass, and then you’ve got your predators and so on.

So you have all the different animals and what they eat, and it gets passed down the food chain. So that is all going to change as well.

So when the food chain changes, that also changes what humans do, and what cattle they have, and what farms, and everything starts to change. Because as you know, it’s all interlinked.

People often look at things that other people say, and they go, oh, I couldn’t do that. But if you go through it, you just do it. You just do.

And this is nature just forcing its way back in. And then it just starts a ripple effect.
