Japanese scientists report that the effects of global warming are speeding up in Asia. Japan has a record 10 typhoons this year. Bangladash, North Eastern India , and South Eastern China have had record prolonged flooding this year and last. Asia will lose a large amount of it's low lying rice growing lands while inland drought is speeding up desertification of huge areas. The Gobi desert is growing towards Beijing fastrer and faster. This means displacement and feeding of populations and the starvation of millions in India, Bangladesh, and China. China must plan at once for moving millions of it's people and at the same time find better ways to stop desertification. In addition the temperature changes are effecting rice yields.
