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.

This article was produced to coincide with the release of CGTN’s new documentary Diaoyu Dao: Small Islands, Big Stakes. Inspired by one of the documentary’s stories, it follows Chinese scholar Wu Tianying’s 23-year pursuit of historical truth, showing how one man’s lifelong research underscores the enduring importance of historical evidence in understanding the Diaoyu Dao (known in Japan as the Senkaku Islands) dispute.
https://youtu.be/ohsuJMRJ7GM?si=k2LX9Hv-oZKpIwMw
“In the years before the First Sino–Japanese War, were Diaoyu Dao and its affiliated islands terra nullius – or were they already Chinese territory?”
At 90 years old, Professor Wu Tianying still asks that question slowly and carefully.
In a quiet study lined with books and documents, the veteran Chinese scholar opens a worn manuscript – “On the Territorial Sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands Prior to 1894.”
It took him 23 years to complete and publish.
For Wu, the book was never simply an academic study.
“It was a commitment to sovereignty,” he says in CGTN’s new documentary “Diaoyu Dao: Small Islands, Big Stakes.”
Part Two of the documentary, “Behind Closed Doors,” follows Wu’s decades-long effort to trace the historical origins of the Diaoyu Dao dispute – not through slogans or political rhetoric, but through archives, maps and an unexpected intellectual exchange with Japanese scholars.
“The deeper I searched…”
Wu Tianying belongs to one of the earliest generations of Chinese scholars to systematically study the Diaoyu Dao issue after China and Japan normalized relations.
At the center of his research was one key argument.
Japan’s claim over the islands rests partly on the concept of terra nullius – land belonging to no state before incorporation.
If the islands were terra nullius, they could, in principle, be claimed through occupation under international law.
In his research, Wu asked whether Japan’s incorporation of Diaoyu Dao during the late 19th century was truly unrelated to its war against the Qing government.
His work brought him into contact with Japanese historian Kiyoshi Inoue.
Inoue had originally sought to prove that the islands belonged to Japan.
Years of studying historical materials led him to a different conclusion.
“The deeper I searched,” Inoue says in archival footage in the documentary, “the clearer it became that the Senkaku Islands (Diaoyu Dao) are China’s territory rather than terra nullius. They have nothing to do with Japan.”
In 1995, Inoue received a copy of Wu’s book.
A year later, Inoue wrote back, praising Wu’s work as a “thorough and scientific rebuttal” of Japanese claims represented by scholars such as Toshio Okuyama.
The two scholars came from different countries and very different historical backgrounds. But both believed historical arguments had to be tested against evidence.
Still waiting for an answer
But Behind Closed Doors is not only about the past.
It also asks what happened to the political understanding that once existed between China and Japan over the Diaoyu Dao issue.
Wu Tianying reflects on Japanese scholars who once warned against pushing the dispute further.
He says he is still watching how Japan’s current political leadership responds to those earlier voices inside Japan itself.
And he is still waiting for an answer.

Press Release
All Thingz Electric Expands EV Charger Installation Services Across South Orange County to Meet Growing Demand
Aliso Viejo, California, United States, 25th Jul 2026 – All Thingz Electric, a licensed electrical contractor serving residential and commercial clients throughout Orange County, today announced the expansion of its electric vehicle (EV) charger installation services to meet surging demand across South Orange County communities. As EV adoption accelerates throughout the region, All Thingz Electric is positioning itself as the go-to resource for homeowners navigating the transition to home charging.
Orange County’s EV Surge
California leads the nation in EV adoption, and Orange County communities, particularly Aliso Viejo, Mission Viejo, Irvine, and Laguna Niguel, have seen significant growth in electric vehicle registrations over the past two years. With that growth comes increased demand for Level 2 home charging solutions, which can charge most EVs overnight and are far more efficient than standard 120V outlets.
“We’re getting more calls about EV chargers than almost anything else right now,” said Anthony Feeney, founder and certified journeyman electrician at All Thingz Electric. “A lot of homeowners buy an EV and assume the outlet in the garage will work fine, and it does, slowly. But once they understand what a dedicated Level 2 charger can do, they want it installed right away. It changes how convenient owning an EV actually is.”
What the Installation Involves
A Level 2 EV charger installation typically involves running a dedicated 240V circuit from the electrical panel to the garage or charging location. In some cases, particularly in older homes, a panel upgrade may be required first to accommodate the added load. All Thingz Electric’s technicians evaluate each home’s existing infrastructure before beginning any work, ensuring the right solution is specified the first time. An electrical inspection and code compliance check is included to ensure the installation meets all local requirements.
All Thingz Electric installs chargers from all major brands and can coordinate directly with utility companies on applicable rebate programs.
A Full-Service Electrical Partner
Beyond EV charging, All Thingz Electric offers a comprehensive range of residential electrical services including whole-house surge protection, outdoor and landscape lighting installation, backup generator installation, and 24/7 emergency electrical services. Free quotes are available for all services, and all work is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
“Orange County homeowners expect quality, and we deliver that on every job,” Feeney said. “Whether someone needs a charger installed or their whole panel replaced, we treat every project like it’s our own home.”
About All Thingz Electric
All Thingz Electric is a licensed electrical contractor founded by Anthony Feeney, a certified journeyman electrician, serving residential and commercial clients throughout Orange County. The company is based in Aliso Viejo and serves Laguna Niguel, Mission Viejo, Irvine, Lake Forest, Dana Point, Laguna Beach, and surrounding communities.

RELVE Q2 Report Reveals AI Hype Gap After Analyzing 1.59M Data Points and 23,000 Tools
182 AI developments shipped last quarter. Only 29 required a decision from a SaaS operator. RELVE’s Q2 report “The State of AI for SaaS Companies” analyzed 1.59 million data points across 9 categories and 69 attributes to highlight the hype and the gap.
United States, 25th Jul 2026 – Eighty-four percent of the AI news that reached SaaS founders last quarter changed nothing about how they build, staff, budget, or buy. That’s the central finding of The State of AI for SaaS Companies, RELVE’s Q2 2026 report released 23-July-2026, built on 23,000+ tools reviewed and 1.59 million data points assessed.
Every item was sorted into three labels: 72 Noise, 81 Watch, and 29 Signals. A Signal is a named, verifiable change worth acting on now. Watch items are patterns still forming, with a clear trigger that could turn them urgent. Noise is real news with no consequence for how a company operates.
Coverage did not track with consequence. The three most-covered companies of the quarter took 28.9% of all coverage yet produced zero Signals. Meanwhile, more than a third of the quarter’s Signals had no single company behind them at all. The report found the loudest stories were rarely the ones that mattered most, and that attention and consequence often pointed in opposite directions.
The 29 Signals grouped into three shifts. The model layer stopped being the moat as frontier-grade output got cheap and interchangeable. Agents began arriving inside company systems before the governance did, often switched on by default in tools teams already run.
And meeting and notetaker tools started turning into the system of record where a company’s decisions, context, and institutional memory live.
Each shift carries a cost if ignored. On AI governance, RELVE cites IBM research showing that high shadow AI use added $670,000 to the average data breach, and that most organizations breached through AI lacked proper access controls.
On skills, the wage premium for AI-fluent roles reached 62% in 2026, more than double what it was two years earlier. On the model layer, cheaper inference reset the build-versus-buy math for nearly every AI-using company.
The report also reads the macro picture on enterprise AI adoption from the major research firms. Adoption is close to universal at 88%, yet only a small share of organizations capture most of the value.
RELVE draws a distinction here: the big firms survey thousands of executives to measure intent, while RELVE tracks what actually shipped and rules on which developments change what an operator does. Its conclusion is that the bottleneck is now workflow, governance, and people, not the technology itself.
The tool review is the foundation under the report. RELVE assessed those tools across 9 categories on 69 attributes, then shortlisted 1,881 across six categories. Nearly 90% of that shortlist was built as AI from the start, with the rest being established tools that added AI later. Marketing and creative made up the two largest categories.
Funding followed a similar pattern of concentration. Among the shortlisted tools, 695 have recorded funding totalling $93.56 billion, with the top ten accounting for about 58% of the total and a single company representing roughly a third of everything tracked. Engineering and operations pulled the most capital by category, while marketing tools, despite being the largest group by count, raised the least.
Events told the same story as the news. RELVE assessed 26 industry conferences during the quarter and found only two produced a Signal. Several more carried announcements worth a founder’s attention without crossing the bar, and many were covered elsewhere purely as spectacle.
The report sorts every event by consequence instead of size, and closes the section with the Q3 dates worth holding.
The report ends with a set of concrete moves for operators, split into what to act on this quarter and what to plan for next.
The near-term list covers checking exposure to shifting engineering-tool pricing, running an inventory of enterprise AI agents that can take autonomous action, and setting a permission and data-access rule for each. RELVE frames this as an AI agent governance problem most teams have not solved yet.
The forward list points to building around cheap and interchangeable models rather than scarce ones, and reassessing vendor lock-in as meeting tools consolidate into a system of record.
The full report, including the function-by-function breakdown for marketing, engineering, operations, HR, and creative, is available on the RELVE site.
