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.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, July 23rd, 2026, FinanceWire
Chairman and CEO Ng Chen Lok Shares How Sagtec Is Executing Its Long-Term Growth Strategy
Sagtec Global Limited (NASDAQ: SAGT), a leading provider of AI-driven technology solutions across Southeast Asia, today released a first-half 2026 shareholder letter from Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Kevin Ng Chen Lok. The letter highlights the Company’s strategic progress, AI commercialization initiatives, and execution of its long-term growth strategy following a record fiscal year 2025.
Letter to Shareholders from Ng Chen Lok, Chairman and CEO
Fellow Shareholders,
As we reach the midpoint of 2026, I am pleased to share the meaningful progress Sagtec has made in executing our long-term growth strategy. Following a record financial year in 2025, our focus has shifted from building a scalable foundation to accelerating commercialization, expanding our AI ecosystem, and strengthening our recurring revenue platform.
Strong First-Half Performance
Our record FY2025 performance delivered revenue of US19.1 million (49% YoY growth) and gross profit of US4.3 million (up 45%). Software subscription revenue continued to strengthen, with our Speed+ platform contributing 62% of total revenue.
For the first half of 2026, based on preliminary unaudited estimates, the Company expects revenue of approximately US11.23 million and gross profit of approximately US3.12 million, demonstrating strong operational momentum across key initiatives.
Expanding Our AI Platform
Artificial intelligence remains at the core of Sagtec’s long-term growth strategy:
- Sage AI: Launched our enterprise AI platform and secured a US$1.1 million enterprise deployment.
- Sovereign AI Data Center: Announced the development of Malaysia’s Sovereign AI Data Center to provide secure computing infrastructure and support regional data sovereignty.
- Halo AI POS System: Officially launched an AI-powered POS solution for chain retailers and multi-outlet restaurants, targeting approximately 10,000 subscribers by 2027 to generate US$1.0 million in annual recurring subscription revenue.
Strategic Partnerships & Enterprise Pipeline
A major H1 2026 milestone was our proposed acquisition of a majority stake in Malaya Heritage, a rapidly growing food and beverage operator, integrating Sagtec’s technology and digital payment ecosystem into consumer businesses. We also expanded our smart property ecosystem through strategic collaborations to embed AI and automation into future property developments.
Beyond recurring software subscriptions, we continue to secure higher-value enterprise engagements through our subsidiary, CL Technologies (International) Sdn. Bhd., spanning AI implementation, cloud infrastructure, smart property tech, and data analytics.
Disciplined Execution & Unlocking Shareholder Value
During H1 2026, we secured additional project funding participation to support strategic expansion while maintaining disciplined capital allocation.
To maximize long-term shareholder value, Sagtec is currently working with advisers to evaluate the potential spin-off and separate independent listing of its subsidiary, CL Technologies (International) Sdn. Bhd. A potential spin-off could provide greater strategic flexibility and enhanced access to growth capital for both entities.
Looking Ahead
As we enter the second half of 2026, Sagtec continues its evolution from a regional software provider into an integrated AI technology platform. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I thank our employees, partners, and shareholders for their trust and continued support.
Sincerely,
Ng Chen Lok
Chairman, CEO and Executive Director, Sagtec Global Limited

Toronto, Canada, July 23rd, 2026, Chainwire
CoinRabbit and GoMining have published a report on Bitcoin mining profitability, showing why managing mined Bitcoin is becoming as important as producing it.
The report highlights how the post-halving environment is redefining success in mining, with operators relying on stronger treasury management, capital discipline, and long-term asset strategies to navigate tighter margins. With the block reward reduced to 3.125 BTC and network difficulty near record levels, operational efficiency alone is no longer enough. The next phase of mining will be shaped by smarter capital allocation and long-term conviction in Bitcoin.
The Four Pillars of the Bitcoin Mining Efficiency Mindset
The report presents a clear framework built around four key pillars:
1) Operational Cost Efficiency
Low-cost power procurement, high uptime, efficient cooling, and disciplined maintenance remain the foundation of any viable mining operation. These factors determine the baseline production cost and are essential for competitiveness.
2) Collateralization Over Liquidation
Instead of selling freshly mined Bitcoin to cover expenses, effective operators are using it as collateral. This approach allows them to meet short-term cash needs while retaining full ownership and long-term exposure to the asset’s value.
3) Operational Liquidity and Tax Optimization
Bitcoin-backed lending provides flexibility to cover recurring operating costs, including power, hosting, and payroll, while avoiding taxable sales. At the same time, it preserves the deductibility of operational expenses.
4) Long-Term Vision and Capital Discipline
Sustainable operators treat mining as a disciplined, capital-intensive business. They maintain the flexibility to hold Bitcoin through market cycles and reinvest in hardware upgrades when opportunities arise, avoiding forced sales during downturns.
The full report can be downloaded here.
Walter Barrett, Chief Strategy & Growth Officer at CoinRabbit, commented: “Long-term success is built on conviction in the assets you hold and the discipline to manage them through different market cycles. At CoinRabbit, we are proud to work with clients who share this long-term vision and recognize the value of staying focused through periods of uncertainty. We appreciate the collaboration with GoMining experts and their contribution to sharing deeper industry insights with the mining community.”
Jeremy Dreier, Chief Business Development Officer at GoMining and Managing Director of GoMining Institutional, added: “In the post-halving environment, discipline is critical. The miners that are winning are those with efficient operations and cash put aside for this exact time. This is the best possible moment to deploy capital into expanding your fleet, because it’s cheap to add hash rate when Bitcoin’s price is down. There’s a lot of opportunity in the market. At GoMining, this is our third bear market, and we’ve seen that the operators who are prepared look at these conditions as an opportunity. Those who aren’t prepared are the ones who panic.”
