HOW BAD IS THE AIR IN CHINA? (SOMEONE TELL TOM FRIEDMAN, WHO DREAMS OF AN AMERICA BEING MORE LIKE CHINA ):
In Beijing, the level of dangerous PM2.5 particulates was more than 39 times higher than World Health Organization guidelines.
In Zhejiang province, a factory burned for three hours before neighbors realized the smoke was not smog.
Artist-turned-dissident Ai Weiwei famously posed in a gas mask. In the most polluted country on earth, the “seemingly never-ending haze and fog” was the worst ever.
ACCORDING TO THE ARTICLE:
The Chinese central government is cash-strapped these days and so does not want to commit to making big expenditures. Moreover, China’s powerful state enterprises—the polluters—have indicated they will not pay either. Similarly, local interests have already been fighting the central government’s environmental efforts, and they are sure to ignore any emission commitments Beijing might make if they have to bear costs.
We’ll clean their air when they come do our laundry!
oh wait...
I really, really hope that no FReeper reads this bizarre headline and assumes that China is actually asking the US to pay to clean up its air.
Because that is not what is happening. All this article is is a Forbes wet dream about CO2 and totalitarian control.
Ummmm...YOU first, China.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Stop sh*tting in your rice paddies.
