China Floods Affect 100 Million

The flooding in China is forecast to continue for days, after epic rains have already spurred the evacuation of more than 1 million people, the death of 500 and the inundation of 100 million overall.

The unusually strong rains are seen as a once-in-a-century event. But as the British people are learning, scientists believe global warming has increased the chances for intense rains and flooding there. It's not such a stretch to think the same may be true in China.
