Chinese meteorologists recently pointed out that the temperatures in northwest China's resource-rich Qaidam Basin are rising faster than the rest of the country as a result of climate change. The rapid rise in temperatures is likely to increase the long-term frequency of droughts and farming pests in the basin to the northeast of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Qaidam Basin covers 250,000 km^2 in Qinghai Province and is known as resource-rich with salt lakes, petroleum, natural gas and other abundant mineral resources.
