Yes it’s becoming an issue because over the past century the pop of China has approximately tripled and people are living in flood zones.

Historically these flood plains have been both a boon and a curse. They bring nutrient rich soil for crops to grow in but also bring potential devastation, hence the dam building since the revolution.

It’s always been an “issue”.

I’m not saying climate change isn’t a thing. It is. I just hate opportunistic misinformation where things are framed in a particular way to spook people.

This is like saying malnutrition in underdeveloped countries is becoming an issue. It’s always existed.
