This is the best summary I could come up with:

And the flooding this time around has struck areas where such weather has been unheard of, with scientists - blaming climate change - warning that the worst is yet to come.

A Greenpeace study from two years ago, using UN climate panel mapping, found that more heatwaves and extreme rainfall would effectively extend summer by one month during this century in the provinces around Beijing and Shanghai.

A brown line revealed what was the high-water mark, with all manner of first-floor items swallowed up and spat out into the street as the flood spread the carnage.

"We suffered big losses: trucks and other vehicles; our goods; furniture; everything we own was wrecked," says Mrs Han, who operates a warehouse for deliveries with her husband.

The professor, a geographer at Montana State University, adds that "climate change-driven weather extremes are a huge problem for China because of its dense population and as a major global economy".

Whether because of droughts or sudden floods, extreme weather is again drawing attention to the impact of climate change on China, with serious questions being asked about whether or not the measures in place to fight it are currently ambitious enough to rein in the destructive force of these potentially catastrophic events.
