The once-in-a-century drought has affected more than 60 million people in Guangxi, Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan provinces, with drinking water difficulties18.07 million people, drinking water difficulties for large livestock10/720,000 heads and crops affected by 5.03 million hectares 165438+. To use an old saying, it can be summarized as: a thousand miles of red land, no grain!

While economists are still debating whether drought will bring inflation, as early as 2004, the US Department of Defense commissioned a company to make a "secret report" on global climate change. This report predicts that a severe drought will occur in southern China around 20 10, lasting for 10 years. Let's not speculate on the truth of this report for the time being, but it's really done today, and it's hard to say whether it will be 10 year as said. Now, what we see is that although some wheat looks green, its roots are dead!

We can't help asking, is this drought a natural disaster? In fact, in order to pursue economic benefits, some provinces in southwest China have been cutting down original ecological forests, planting rubber forests (the price of rubber futures has doubled in recent years) and pressing forests. These two kinds of fast-growing and high-yield forests are vividly called "pumps", which lead to the decline of groundwater level and poor water storage capacity, and even groundwater can not be relied on in severe drought. Since everyone knows that fast-growing eucalyptus and rubber trees are "pumps" and "fertilizer pumps", why are they all planting like crazy? That is, local officials blindly pursue political achievements, GDP and profits in the eyes of businessmen. In the end, only ordinary people will bear the wrong levy and punishment. Sometimes I wonder, what is the use of this illusory GDP growth at the expense of the environment? The sustainable development of the environment and the living environment of future generations are far more important than the so-called GDP!

We can't help asking why our ability to resist drought is so poor. In the countryside 30 years ago, every field had ditches and every field had deep wells. If there is drought, you can use a water pump. It only takes two or three days for the dry land to turn green again. On the contrary, in recent years, we have not paid attention to the construction of agricultural water conservancy facilities. Officials everywhere regard industry and real estate as engines to stimulate the economy, but ignore that agriculture is related to the survival of the country and food is related to national security! Because governments at all levels simply don't pay attention to agricultural water conservancy facilities, there are more than 3 million mu of sugarcane in Yunnan alone. Due to the lack of irrigation in water conservancy facilities, we can only resign ourselves to fate now. If the drought came 30 years ago, we could have water conservancy facilities to deal with it, but now we are helpless in the face of disaster because we have neglected agriculture for a long time. This is a retrogression in history. We are too unfriendly to the environment, agriculture and agriculture. We value GDP too much. Is it really enough to surpass our living environment?

According to the report of international environmental experts, in Chinese mainland, where economic development only pursues GDP, the consumption rate of natural resources such as farmland, trees and water is twice as fast as its regeneration rate. There are more than 100 resource-exhausted cities in China, involving a total population of1500,000 people. Moreover, some media reported that every ton of coal produced in China will cause environmental loss of 1 50 yuan. In 2008, the national average level was that for every 6.5438+0 million tons of coal produced, the death rate was more than 1 person, which can be described as "red GDP".

I don't know when China's GDP will turn blue-green, but the GDP made of red and black or steel and cement is definitely unhealthy! I don't think we need to show off how fast GDP grows every year, but we need to take it from nature and leave room for future generations! What's the use of sacrificing the unsustainable GDP growth of China's economy, resources and environment?
