All eyes on Three Gorges Dam again...

Didn't we do this last year? And the year before?

Brought to you by the same fear porn makers that make similar videos when the Mississippi River is high and the fear mongers start pimping the possibility of the ORCS or Morganza failing and flooding Morgan City.

Exactly. With AI, everyone is now in the content business and it must be shocking, scarier and more salacious than past efforts else no clicky.
Remember the good old days when you had to provide service and value to others to make a living?

Three Gorges is small fry. Let's talk Yellowstone Super Volcano. Should we bring in Al Gore to promote it and tie its activity to the coming Ice Age Gore is now touting?

I was at Hoover Dam a few weeks ago. Lake Mead is almost at its lowest point ever and inside the dam you could still feel a rumble as though the dam were alive.
I would love to go if Lake Mead was high. Despite being low in some spots, water was still leaching though the rock. They put roofing tin to keep the walkways dry.

Pretty sure I posted about this stuff back in 2017 or 18.

They are providing a service by fueling the human fear emotion or by quenching human boredom, and providing valuable advertising revenue opportunities for those that consume that type of media.
Since the dawn of broadcasting, this what has kept electronic media in business.

I was there one time and there was some water leaking from one of the walls, luckily I had some chewing gum to patch it up.

Corruption is the answer. Same as the US
Anyone who can read, knows the Lead Engineer for the Three Gorges Dam project was arrested and has disappeared. Likely executed. Discovered using cheaper concrete and receiving kickbacks. Xi revealed this during the latest purge. The Chinese are looking to relieve the stress to a failing dam. If the dam goes, 100 miles downstream, Wuhan will be 20 feet under water and millions will drown. All manufacturing gone along the river.

I remember. I believe it was February 29, 2017.

He’s not touting an ice age. The theory that he was discussing is a scenario of global warming. For some reason I am not familiar with, the gulfstream collapses due to increased global average temperature. The gulfstream distributes heat to North America. Without that heat distribution North America gets radically colder while other parts of the earth get radically warmer. The net is a warmer earth with North America being a cold spot.
Al Gore has disgraced himself with idiotic predictions. So we don’t need to make up fake news about him in order to lampoon him. In fact, the fake news, like “Gore predicts an ice age”, undermines the legitimate criticism of him. All the left needs to do is point to right wing fake news and say, “See? This is what those idiots believe.”

At least you didn’t have to stick your finger in a dyke.

Al Gore, the Idiot
What a run that was based upon the ignorance of almost all.

If Yellowstone ever goes off in our lifetimes, we suddenly won’t give a shite about Three Gorges or anything else.

ChatGPT says this is largely untrue. The chief designer of the dam was never arrested, or accused. There were some executives of the company who were arrested and convicted of taking bribes, but no allegations of inferior materials and no suspicion that the dam is in danger of failing. In fact, ChatGPT says it is massively overdesigned and monitored.
Note: None of the above is my opinion. I’m just posting what ChatGPT says about this.

Your link has people claiming that Gore says an ice age is coming. But where is the link with Gore saying it? There is none, because he didn’t say it. Go see my previous post to see what he did say. Or go read the transcript of Gore in that interview.

Gore is and always has been a clown. Which circus would you like for me to link to?
Posted on 5/3/26 at 10:59 am to Timeoday
That would have been 2016 and likely in or prior to the rainy season, likely summer.
But this is a new issue, as it happened weeks ago.
