three gorges dam

have you heard of this project in china called the three gorges dam, because of the floods last year they have decided to build this massive dam that is going to be so big it can be seen from space (very chinese).

what they are going to do is flood all the gorges and stuff behind the dam, which may wipe out loas of rare animals, are will totaly destroy loads of amasing historical sites including the hanging coffins which are totally amazing. (i want to be an archaeologist) and the area that will be flooded is one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. Also if this dam breakes more lives will be lost than will ever been saved.

it would be much safer and have less of an environmental impact if they just built a series of smaller dams allong the course of the river. and the floods have only occured in recent times so why dont they put the money towards stopping global warming or something!

i know i just ranted for ages but this kind of thing buggs me alot!!

I'm tired of people not giving a damn about our enviroment and the animals.

i know!! they go spending our money on "life changing schemes" that dont really benefit anyone. i think that our country should focus more on helping developing countries, and fixing global warming.

also al gore should have president.
