they passed the US in pollution in 2009 and they have 1.3 billion chinese people. the US has slightly more than 300 million, and also maybe some chinese people

hey so anyway, I'm an audio installer and my company has an extra shipment of speakers after a customer changed their order.... it's a great deal

It has nothing to do with population, it has to do with industry and the economic changes that are driving China. They are taking every possible shortcut and saying "damn the consequences". And because of those 1.3 billion people they will have a LOT more impact on the overall health of the planet than the US has or will. Unlike the US, there is no political pressure to be "green" in China. Getting ahead is the only goal.

While the US has gotten better (really, it has) China is going to get a lot worse.

Born there. Lived there off and on over the years. Thankfully far away from the Big Grey Dome, now.

ok, but to be fair, while China overtook the US in 2009 as the top producer of CO2 emissions as a =country= the US is still 4 times worse than China per capita.

per capita: CO2 Emissions, Waste generation, CO2, Nuclear waste... United States is either a podium finisher or honorable mention <-wiki article, no sources cited. but necessary to my soul to offset the misleading representation of the original picture

the US is driving the bus to hell

Their per capita is over 4 times the US so that's a convenient number to make up fun facts and skew data. Our air is still much cleaner. Period.


except not. did you look at the last line of the first link, it says "the US is 4 times worse than china per capita." (that means per person)

I reject your picture. I reject the implication that Beijing and China is a global pollution monster. it's the US.

that picture is more subjective than you think. the distance of the shot isn't clear, neither is the lens, or the exposure, or the time of day (smog is worst in the morning). there's no guarantee the image wasn't digitally altered. it was either by photographer skill or digital contrast adjustment that makes the woman's face the brightest part of the image... the very brightest part of her face has full screen brightness, and is not a coincidence.

your post belongs in National Enquirer. you have been demoted.


Such Anger.

Congratulations Troll of The Week.

Permanently blocked.


Edit: One last thing before we go our separate ways:

The picture was taken by an artist with no agenda. She was trying to find the one piece of beauty in a horrible landscape and it just so happened to look straight out of Blade Runner. Take your conspiracy BS and get out of my thread.

I've only been to LA once as an adult and that was an overnight stay in Riverside on the way to move to San Francisco.

We arrived after dark, but when we got up in the morning......Ohh, My.....GOD!

Yes, you could barely see the hills a few miles away and my eyes were tearing up and were red as beets. They and the sniffling did not clear up till we were way north of Bakersfield.

Once you get north of the mountains, you're out of the semi-perminant inversion that lives over the L.A. Basin. That's when it clears up.

I thought air quality in the Central Valley was actually significantly worse than LA? Different pollutants, but you can see the cloud as you descend over the Grapevine.

Haven't been out there recently - Last I was out there, the only thing you had to worry abuot once over the pass was dust and agricultural stuff. That's probably changed - But the central valley still shouldn't get the hard inversions nearly as often or as bad as L.A. does, and it's the inversions that really screw things up.

I've been there a few times and I've been to LA. To be honest, there's no comparison. LA at least has the occasional day where you can breathe without medical assistance.

True.

Hard to believe an innocuous thread like this had to be crashed by a member of our current 'radical American political party named after a beverage'. Easy to see why they are increasingly unpopular.
