The toxic spill occurred on February 18 at a mine in Zambia’s Copperbelt province owned by Sino-Metals Leach Sambia, a subsidiary of the state-run China Nonferrous Metal Mining Group. A dam holding back “tailings,” or toxic waste from copper mining operations, collapsed and dumped at least 50 million liters of poisonous chemicals into a stream that led to the nearby Kafue River.

The Kafue River is a major source of water for fish, animals, crops, and about 12 million human inhabitants of the region. Environmentalists called the spill an “environmental disaster of catastrophic consequences” and feared it would effectively “kill” the river. Huge numbers of dead fish soon began accumulating on the riverbanks, while local crops withered and died.

This is a classic example of ecocide.

Somehow Americans have been convinced if they pay more taxes it will help "climate change", meanwhile dozens of other countries are filling the air, soil and water with toxins.

I don't see how Americans paying more taxes helps other countries spill more toxins.

Chinese is to mining what the American Negro is to picking cotton, no?
