Walking through Asia’s water tower – the challenge of climate change on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
Article·Hengduan Mountain Research Society
As a global meteorological outpost, the mechanism and influence of climate change on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are complicated. In October 1998,he led the “Yarlung Zangbo River scientific rafting expedition”， drifted 1,600 kilometers from the Jiemayangzong Glacier in Zhongba County, Tibet, the source of the Yarlung Zangbo River, to Pai Township (today’s Pai Town) in Mainling County. After that, he crossed the Grand Canyon on foot and spent 35 days crossing the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon. In 2010, he launched another bold project, “Asian Water Tower — International River Survey on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau” and spent six months visiting a majority of international rivers on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Although he had explored most of the rivers on the Tibetan Plateau over the past 20 years, in this mission, he did a systematic, complete, inch-by-inch survey of the headwaters of Asian great rivers that originate on the Tibetan Plateau.
During the investigation, he felt the benefits that the implementation of the River Chief System in recent years has brought to the protection of both water resources and the relevant environment on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and he could clearly see the efforts of climate actions such as the layout of clean energy and de-coaling. But the unprovoked accusations, such as artificial rainfall on the Tibetan plateau, are always discouraging. Regardless of the standpoint of science, the well-rounded artificial rainfall, as a very scientific and rigorous scientific practice, has been used in the United States, Australia and other countries. However, many people still believe that artificial rainfall is to release some cold air into the clouds. The most important fact is that the Tibetan Plateau region of China has a small population and the natural ecology has been able to meet the need of local living conditions. Therefore, large-scale artificial rainfall has no practical application scenario and practical significance at all. To top it all off, some people believe that China is just competing with India for rainwater.
he have heard similar rumors and prejudices at many South Asian Non-governmental organizations’ symposium on international rivers. Most of the participants remarked, “It is amazing how little the media of each country knows about its neighbors.” In this environment of lack of communication and political suspicion, debate is often driven by lack of information and political smear, and alarmist media reports are more likely to fan the flames of national conflicts.
There has always been controversy around the discussion of climate change, especially the various claims of the scientific interpretation of the mechanism of climate change. What is even more puzzling is that negotiations on climate action, without strong scientific support, seem to only strive for profit, and humanity will lose its way if it continues like this. The scientific community has long believed that the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the frontier of the earth science, with many key issues to be broken through. Tackling climate change will be futile or even disastrous before it is solved.
What are the main causes of climate change and glacier melting on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau? In recent years, some researchers have suggested that when the solar system moves out of the Quaternary Ice Age and into a higher background energy field, it is the cause of the temperature rise. However, he believe that the temperature rise at the altitude of 5,000 to 6,000 meters is mainly caused by the fact that a large amount of greenhouse gases emitted by human beings absorb heat in the atmosphere of the Tibetan Plateau in the atmospheric circulation. Therefore, they should face and share the responsibility together instead of making groundless accusations against any one country in order to deal with climate change on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and even over the whole world.
Vice President of the United States Harris pointed out recently, the war for water resources will come soon. In he’s opinion, both water resources and the influence of global warming on the Tibetan Plateau are a fait accompli, the unilateral effort of each country is only a temporary solution. Environmental protection is not just a matter of pure science, but if there is too much political manipulation and rancour involved, the problem gets trickier. The growth of all creatures depends on harmony. China and south Asian countries around the Tibetan Plateau create a new win-win cooperation of climate governance in such aspects as scientific research, the meteorological disaster warning, can not only monitor the secondary disasters caused by climate change, to avoid the life and property loss. More importantly, a collaborative and vivid climate action can provide the international community with a set of effective experiences that can be replicated in climate governance.
Climate change is already causing serious environmental problems on the Tibetan Plateau and the Brahmaputra River basin as I have proposed many times in international seminars. The international community should build consensus and join hands in tackling these threats especially the neighboring countries. Partha J. Das, a scientist from the Indian NGO Aaranyak, also pointed out at the symposium that these warnings apply to the Indian government as well. The Indian government plans to build 70 water projects on the upper reaches of the Brahmaputra River. China and India need face the common threats in cooperation. Referred to the outburst floods from the upper reaches of the Brahmaputra in June 2000, Das said: “Most of the damage could have been avoided if the media in both China and India had reported it widely.” Obviously, China and India are both on the same page at environmental and climatic changes on the Tibetan Plateau. He also claimed that China and India should enhance cooperation on flood early warning both in the Government and Non-governmental, signing a bilateral agreement and sharing hydrological observation data.

Press Release
Finance Complaint List Warns of a 500% Surge in AI-Powered Deepfake Crypto Scams Driven by Celebrity Impersonations
Globally people are losing millions in minutes as hyper-realistic videos, fake news broadcasts, and live executive impersonations turn artificial intelligence into the most dangerous fraud weapon of 2026.
The Finance Complaint List, a global consumer-fraud monitoring and reporting network, has issued a major warning to investors and the public after documenting a 500 percent surge in AI-powered deepfake cryptocurrency scams fueled by celebrity impersonations, fake testimonials, and fabricated news broadcasts. According to the latest findings, these scams have rapidly become 4.5 times more profitable than traditional financial fraud, with individual victims losing more than $5 million in under 20 minutes to a single attack.
The explosive growth of these scams marks a new phase in cyber-enabled financial crime, where artificial intelligence has transformed deception into something nearly indistinguishable from reality.
Finance Complaint List is actively assisting victims in documenting and reporting fraudulent activity through its online platform, www.financecomplaintlist.com, which serves as a public database for scam alerts, verified complaints, and educational resources.
Hyper-Realistic Deepfakes Now Power Crypto Fraud
AI-generated deepfake videos of celebrities and crypto influencers promoting fake investment schemes jumped 500 percent in 2025. Using advanced face-swap software, voice cloning, and large language models, criminals are producing highly convincing videos of prominent figures such as Elon Musk and Vitalik Buterin appearing to endorse fraudulent cryptocurrency giveaways, trading platforms, and so-called “exclusive” investment opportunities.
These are no longer crude or blurry forgeries. The videos replicate real speech patterns, facial movements, gestures, and backgrounds pulled from legitimate interviews and public appearances, making them virtually indistinguishable from authentic footage.
Victims are being shown videos of Elon Musk “announcing” new Tesla-linked crypto projects or Vitalik Buterin “revealing” Ethereum airdrops, all designed to push them toward fake platforms that steal their funds the moment they connect their wallets.
How the Scams Are Delivered
Finance Complaint List reports that today’s deepfake scams operate across a sophisticated, multi-channel ecosystem:
- Deepfake videos of celebrities promising to double Bitcoin investments
- AI-generated customer testimonials claiming massive profits
- Fake news broadcasts announcing government-backed crypto initiatives
- Live video calls impersonating company executives
- Phishing links that mimic MetaMask or Trust Wallet to drain funds instantly
Scammers also personalize their attacks using public data from social media, sending messages such as, “Hey [Your Name], I saw your BTC posts—join this 2026 presale!”
These messages are then spread across X, TikTok, Telegram, and private messaging apps, amplified by bot networks and purchased social-media accounts.
$5 Million in Minutes: The Financial Impact
The financial speed of these scams is unprecedented. In one documented case from June 2024, a deepfake Elon Musk appeared in a live YouTube broadcast promoting a cryptocurrency giveaway. Victims sent funds to a scam wallet, which collected at least $5 million within 20 minutes, and more than $5 million between March 2024 and January 2025.
Another Chainabuse report from November 2023 revealed a deepfake Musk video pushing an AI-powered trading platform that generated over $3.3 million between July 2023 and February 2024. Funds in both cases were traced to major exchanges and darknet markets, demonstrating how quickly money disappears into global laundering networks.
Live Deepfake Executive Impersonations
Finance Complaint List warns that scammers are no longer limited to prerecorded videos. Live deepfake video calls now allow criminals to impersonate company executives, employees, family members, and friends in real time.
In February 2024, a multinational company in Hong Kong lost millions after an employee joined a video call with scammers impersonating senior executives using live face-swap technology.
In other cases, criminals clone a victim’s voice to contact family members, claiming they are in trouble and need money urgently. In Asia, scammers commonly impersonate friends or relatives to persuade victims to invest in fake crypto schemes they claim are profitable.
TRM has documented over $60 million, largely in Ethereum, flowing through scams that used live deepfakes, indicating the extraordinary scale of these operations.
The Rise of AI-Generated CEOs and Staff
Deepfake technology is also being used to fabricate entire companies. One of the largest pyramid schemes of 2024, MetaMax, reportedly used an AI-generated CEO avatar to present itself as legitimate while collecting nearly $200 million from victims worldwide.
Another scam, babit[.]cc, created AI-generated images of its supposed staff instead of using real people, a tactic that becomes harder to detect as the technology improves.
False Celebrity Giveaways Flood Social Media
Crypto giveaway scams continue to dominate platforms like X and YouTube. Fraudsters impersonate celebrities such as Elon Musk and Donald Trump, promising to return double or triple any crypto sent to them. Once funds are transferred, the scammers vanish.
In 2025, these scams increasingly rely on deepfakes, making fake celebrity endorsements appear authentic enough to fool even experienced crypto users.
Industrial-Scale Scam Networks
Finance Complaint List highlights how fraud has become fully industrialized. The Lighthouse Enterprise model shows how modern scams operate as businesses with specialized teams:
- Developer groups build phishing tools
- Data brokers sell targeted victim lists
- Spammer groups distribute scams at scale
- Theft teams launder stolen funds
- Administrative units manage recruitment and coordination
Scams using phishing kits are 688 times more effective in dollar terms than traditional scams, while those using bulk social-media accounts are 238 times more effective.
Global Law Enforcement Strikes Back
A major blow to global scam networks came when the U.S. Department of Justice unsealed charges against Prince Group chairman Chen Zhi, accused of running forced-labor scam compounds in Cambodia that powered large-scale crypto fraud.
Authorities seized and targeted more than $15 billion in illicit proceeds, while the U.S. Treasury and the UK’s Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office sanctioned 146 entities linked to the Prince Group’s transnational crime network.
Chen was arrested in Cambodia in January 2026 and extradited to China, highlighting the complex geopolitical challenges of dismantling global crypto crime.
AI Makes Scams 4.5 Times More Profitable
A July 2025 report by J.P. Morgan found that scams linked to AI vendors generate $3.2 million per operation, compared to $719,000 for non-AI scams. These operations also process nine times more transactions per day, showing how AI allows criminals to target and manage far more victims simultaneously.
Will Lyne, Head of Economic & Cybercrime at the Metropolitan Police, stated, “Fraud linked to cryptocurrency continues to grow in scale and sophistication, with organised crime groups increasingly using impersonation tactics, online infrastructure, and AI-enabled tools to target victims at pace and scale. However, we are also seeing a step change in law enforcement’s ability to respond.”
How to Report Crypto Scams in 2026
Finance Complaint List urges anyone who encounters a crypto scam to report it immediately to:
- Local law enforcement
- The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the FBI in the United States
- National financial regulators
- Social media platforms where the scam appears
Victims should provide all available evidence, including messages, emails, transaction records, screenshots, and wallet addresses. Reporting scams helps protect others and supports efforts to dismantle these global criminal networks.
