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.

Start A Prop Firm Debuts to Make Launching a Proprietary Trading Firm Faster, Simpler, and More Accessible
Dover, Delaware, November 10th, 2026, FinanceWire
Start A Prop Firm (SAPF) has launched a platform designed to make that process faster and more cost-efficient. The platform brings technology providers and vendors together in one place, while giving prospective operators access to curated recommendations, community reviews, a vendor-matching quiz and free consultations.
Starting a prop firm involves more than choosing a trading model and opening the doors to traders. New operators have to find the right technology providers, set up payment systems, establish their business infrastructure and make decisions that can create significant costs before the firm generates any revenue.
The order in which those decisions are made can matter just as much. Signing up for services too early, choosing providers that don’t fit the firm’s model, or spending months preparing for launch can leave new operators carrying expenses before their business is ready.
The goal is to help entrepreneurs make better-informed decisions about what they need, when they need it and which providers fit their plans, while reducing unnecessary spending during the pre-launch stage.
A Central Place to Find Providers
Finding the providers needed to launch a prop firm can mean searching across different websites, industry communities and individual provider pages. SAPF brings those options together through a curated vendor directory covering the different services required to build and operate a prop firm.
The directory isn’t intended to be a list of every company in the industry. Providers are selected based on the SAPF team’s experience in the industry. Vendors can also apply to be considered for inclusion.
For new operators, the aim is to make the research process more manageable. Instead of starting from scratch and comparing providers across multiple sources, operators can use the directory to explore companies relevant to different parts of their planned business, from trading technology and CRM systems to payments, risk management and other operational services.
The platform also gives users a way to share their experiences through community reviews, adding another source of information when evaluating potential providers.
Helping New Operators Control Pre-Launch Costs
The cost of running a prop firm can start accumulating before the firm has its first customer. Technology providers may charge fixed monthly fees, meaning an operator can be paying for infrastructure and other services while still preparing for launch.
The longer that preparation takes, the longer those costs continue without revenue to offset them. A launch that takes several months can therefore leave a new firm carrying significant expenses before it’s able to generate revenue.
SAPF is designed to help reduce that period before launch. By helping operators identify the providers they need and understand when those services fit into the launch process, the platform aims to reduce unnecessary spending during setup.
This is also why the order of the launch process matters. An operator doesn’t necessarily need every service from the beginning, and choosing a provider before understanding the firm’s model can create costs that could have been avoided. SAPF helps operators make decisions tailored to their business needs rather than committing to services simply because they’re common in the industry.
Matching Operators With the Right Providers
Choosing a provider isn’t only about finding a company that offers a particular service. The right option can depend on the type of firm being built, the available budget and the experience the operator wants to create for prospective customers.
SAPF addresses this through a free quiz that asks prospective operators about their plans for the business. The quiz asks a few practical questions about the business the operator wants to build, including their budget, whether they plan to offer CFDs or futures, and what they want the experience to look like for their traders.
Those answers are compared with the data SAPF has on its providers. From there, the platform can narrow down the options and point the operator toward providers that fit what they are trying to build. A founder looking to launch a futures firm on a specific budget, for example, may need a very different set of providers from someone building a CFD firm.
For new operators, the process provides a starting point for narrowing down the many provider options involved in building a prop firm, while helping them avoid paying for solutions that may not fit their needs.
More Information Before Choosing
Choosing a provider is only one part of the decision. New operators also need to know who they can rely on for promotion, comparisons and other services that affect how their business reaches potential traders.
SAPF allows users to review and rank vendors, firm comparison sites, affiliates, and influencers, helping prospective partners share experiences and evaluate relationships through community ratings.
That can be useful in an industry where affiliates and influencers can have a direct impact on customer acquisition. A large audience doesn’t necessarily tell a new operator whether a particular partner will deliver ideal results.
By putting these reviews alongside the vendor directory, SAPF gives operators more information to consider before committing their budget to a provider.
Free Consultations and the 30-Day Launch Goal
SAPF offers free consultations and access to its vendor-match quiz. The company earns through referral agreements with its partners rather than charging operators for services.
The broader goal is to help new operators work through setup in the right order and avoid unnecessary delays and expenses. SAPF aims to help operators launch within 30 days, rather than the months it can take without a clear plan.
Conclusion
Launching a prop firm doesn’t have to involve months of research or unnecessary expenses. Start A Prop Firm brings trusted providers, community reviews, and expert guidance into one platform, helping operators make informed decisions, avoid premature costs, and streamline their launch.
About Start A Prop Firm
Start A Prop Firm simplifies launching and operating a firm by connecting entrepreneurs with curated technology providers, infrastructure solutions, and service partners. Through its vendor directory, personalized matching, community reviews, and free consultations, the platform helps operators make informed decisions, reduce costs, and accelerate their path to market.

Zhariff Zabidi Releases Calibration Intelligence: The Intelligence of Knowing What the Moment Requires
Engineer and energy-finance professional presents calibration intelligence as the missing link between understanding a situation and choosing the response it requires
Plano, Texas, United States, 10th Nov 2026 – Zhariff Zabidi, a petroleum engineer and author, has released “Calibration Intelligence: The Intelligence of Knowing What the Moment Requires.” The book proposes calibration intelligence as a “missing intelligence” alongside cognitive intelligence (IQ) and emotional intelligence (EQ): the judgment to recognize which response a situation requires, how strongly to apply it and when to change course.

In Zhariff’s framework, cognitive ability supports analysis and problem-solving, while emotional intelligence supports understanding and managing emotions. Calibration intelligence addresses how those abilities are applied in context. A person may understand a problem and recognize the emotions involved, yet still struggle to decide whether to act, wait, persist or reconsider.
“We’re taught to work harder and think smarter, but how do we know when to change our approach?” said Zhariff. “I wrote this book to help readers recognize when a strength has stopped serving them, and to decide what the moment actually calls for.”
The framework draws on Zhariff’s work in petroleum engineering and energy finance, where forecasts depend on assumptions that must be reassessed as evidence changes. A temporary decline in a well’s production does not necessarily justify rewriting its long-term forecast; a financial projection is only as useful as its assumptions about performance and risk. The book brings that attention to context, patterns and changing conditions into everyday decisions.
Yin and Yang provide a practical way to consider complementary responses. Yang emphasizes action, assertion and forward movement; Yin emphasizes receptivity, reflection and restraint. The appropriate balance changes with the situation. A stalled project may require a decisive next step, while a tense conversation may require listening before responding.
Through personal stories and practical frameworks, the book helps readers:
- Recognize when persistence, patience or confidence starts working against them.
- Distinguish a temporary setback from a recurring pattern that needs attention.
- Choose when to act, listen, set a boundary or change direction.
“Discipline and flexibility, ambition and contentment, confidence and humility are all strengths,” Zhariff said. “The skill is knowing which one the moment requires.”
Published October 22, 2026, “Calibration Intelligence” is the first book in the Calibration Intelligence Series and is available on Amazon in hardcover, paperback and Kindle editions. Learn more at zhariffzabidi.com.
