Chinese have been suffering from a lot particulate pollution the last few days. They have real air pollution problems from burning coal. We have none (because we are wealthy and cleaned up coal years ago) so the green eco-freaks here have to invent CO2 pollution coming from coal that warms the earth

Cars in continual traffic jams are also polluting Beijing and other Chinese cities, not just coal

Agreed, the Beijing smog is notorious. It reminds me of the days of the London “fog,” which was mostly smog. I assume as China gets wealthier they will clean up their air as we did.
