Floods in China/ Gore not sitting pretty either bloomberg.com Bloomberg reports in expanded coverage elsewhere that the Yangtze floods have "claimed more than 2,000 lives, made 13.8mm homeless and affected more than 240 mm people-- a fifth of China's population of 1.2 bln people. Analysts say the economic cost could top $24 billion. And with more rain falling in upstream Sichuan province, another flood crest looks likely" FWIW China unlikely to hit an honest 5% GDP growth this year IMO.
