Mountains in China are being bulldozed to make way for cities, but environmentalists are warning this could prove to be a disaster. Mountaintops are being flattened, and valleys filled in to prepare areas for building.

Environmentals at one university in China are calling the actions unsustainable, saying it will lead to flooding, erosion and pollution.

Over the last decade, dozens of mountains have been destroyed and valleys have been filled in as part of the drive. Little study has been conducted on how this large-scale redistribution of geology will affect the environment.

Chang'an University researchers believe the consequences of these actions could prove disastrous.

they already have a prob w/ the lack of water and now this is only go to add to run-off waste right?
 
More than likely.

They are also opening a new coal fired electric generator every couple of weeks to supply power for their factories being worked by slaves.

Something Mr. Gore told them they shouldn't do... the power plants, he doesn't care about their working conditions.

They didn't listen to him either.
