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.

Charles Howenstine DDS on Arresting Gum Inflammation Before It Leads to Surgery
Michigan, US, 20th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Many patients first notice gum disease in small, easy‑to‑ignore ways. A little bleeding while brushing. Tenderness that comes and goes. Mild swelling that does not hurt enough to feel urgent. Charles Howenstine DDS often explains that these early signs matter more than people realize, because they usually reflect inflammation, not permanent damage.
Gum disease does not begin with bone loss. It starts with bacteria collecting along the gumline and triggering an inflammatory response. In the early stages, the bone and connective tissue that support the teeth remain intact. The disease is present, but it has not crossed the point where damage becomes irreversible.
This window matters. When inflammation is identified early and addressed consistently, the disease process often stops. Dentists describe this as arrested gum disease. Progression halts. Tissue stabilizes. Surgery stays off the table.
Charles Howenstine DDS emphasizes that arresting gum inflammation is not complicated, but it does require follow through. Daily brushing and flossing reduce bacterial buildup. Professional cleanings remove hardened deposits that home care cannot reach. When the bacterial load drops, the gums respond. Bleeding decreases. Swelling subsides. The tissue becomes firmer and healthier.
What surprises many patients is how much control they have at this stage. Gum inflammation does not progress on its own. It progresses when the conditions that caused it stay in place. When those conditions change, the disease slows or stops.
Consistency is the deciding factor. One cleaning does not arrest gum disease permanently. Improvement depends on maintaining habits over time. Arrested inflammation means the disease is under control, not cured. Without routine care, inflammation returns.
Surgery enters the conversation only when disease advances far enough to affect bone. At that point, treatment shifts from prevention to repair. Charles Howenstine DDS works to keep patients well clear of that threshold by identifying inflammation early and responding before damage escalates.
There is also a persistent misconception that gum disease is inevitable with age. Charles Howenstine DDS pushes back on this idea. Age does not determine outcome. Daily habits, professional maintenance, and follow through do. Many patients maintain stable gum health for decades when inflammation is addressed early and kept arrested.
Monitoring plays a central role. Arrested gum disease requires regular evaluation. Dentists assess tissue response, bleeding patterns, and pocket measurements over time. Stability confirms success. Changes signal renewed activity and prompt early correction.
Clear communication supports long‑term results. Patients are more likely to maintain habits when they understand what is happening and why it matters. When people see how small actions affect inflammation, care becomes intentional rather than reactive.
Arresting gum disease reflects partnership. Dentists provide diagnosis, guidance, and professional care. Patients bring consistency at home. Together, they prevent progression and protect the structures that keep teeth stable.
About Charles Howenstine DDS
Charles Howenstine DDS is a dentist and practice owner in Stevensville, Michigan. His clinical focus includes prevention, early intervention, and maintaining arrested gum conditions through clear communication, routine care, and disciplined follow through.

McLaren Charlotte Launches a Personal Pledge for Informed Performance Culture
California, US, 20th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, McLaren Charlotte has announced the launch of a personal pledge aimed at raising awareness around the importance of informed performance culture, as interest in high-performance vehicles continues to rise while understanding of the systems behind them lags.
The pledge reflects McLaren Charlotte’s long-standing belief that performance is not defined by speed alone, but by structure, consistency, and respect for engineering and process.
“We’ve always believed that how you build matters as much as what you build,” the team shared.
“You can’t lead customers if you don’t understand the machine,” they added.
“Our job doesn’t end when the keys are handed over. That’s actually when the relationship starts.”
“In this industry, consistency is the real differentiator.”
These principles form the foundation of the new pledge.
Why This Issue Matters Right Now
As performance vehicles and advanced systems become more accessible, the need for understanding has grown more urgent.
-
70% of luxury vehicle buyers now complete most of their research before first contact, increasing the risk of misinformation and surface-level knowledge.
-
Over 60% of premium automotive customers say education and clarity matter more than incentives, according to industry surveys.
-
Modern high-performance vehicles rely on increasingly complex systems adapted from motorsport.
-
Research from Harvard Business Review shows that process-driven organisations reduce repeat errors by over 30%.
“Performance doesn’t happen by accident,” McLaren Charlotte notes. “Whether it’s a car or a business, results come from systems working together.”
The McLaren Charlotte Personal Pledge
McLaren Charlotte is committing to the following seven behaviours as part of this pledge:
-
Prioritise education over assumptions in every interaction.

-
Maintain consistency across every touchpoint.
-
Apply racing discipline to everyday decision-making.
-
Encourage thoughtful questions and informed curiosity.
-
Build processes designed to last, not just move fast.
Do It Yourself: Informed Performance Toolkit
McLaren Charlotte is sharing a free toolkit for individuals who want to apply these principles on their own:
-
Learn how the systems behind your tools or vehicles work.
-
Read the engineering or design story, not just headlines.
-
Ask “why” before asking “how fast.”
-
Keep a simple learning journal.
-
Review instructions or manuals after initial use.
-
Follow credible technical sources.
-
Reflect on how parts work together.
-
Track questions you still have.
-
Compare expectations with real-world experience.

Share what you learn with others.
30-Day Progress Tracker
-
Week 1: Learn one system or concept you didn’t understand before.
-
Week 2: Ask three informed questions.
-
Week 3: Review how your expectations have changed.
-
Week 4: Write down one insight that reshaped your thinking.
