  • YEP they are gonna blame the US eventually for something. I live in washington state, baby blue skies here!

  • @bomberfun1 As if the US isn't partly to blame for this... I don't think you have any education on this at all.

  • @FuckHuJinTao The reason that Hong Kong is very polluted is because there is no regulation to prevent it and no high tax to clean it up. A communist system would be able to do both of these things.

    Fail.

  • Try HK summer with pollution. It's unbearable. HK government has loads of reserves, they should do something about the pollution, help the citizens.

  • China, and India and other developing countries need to start to produce more cleaner and plentiful greener energy soon even in the midst of their industrial revolutions or else smog will create even more environmental and health problems than we see face today

  • I use to drive locally in LaCa we were on the east side one day and you could barely breathe. You have illegals all over that area and the illegals take all the pollution control off of their cars. It burns your eyes and you have difficulty breathing when I was a kid in Louisiana I would see on the news about La smog but when you see the diffenence up close it makes you sick. And the cars just keep comming all day all night. Every day vroom for what they could find a better way to get to work.

  • de un canal de educación ambiental... este video casi nadie lo quiere ver. y sin embargo es importante reaccionar alte tal realidad. en tu ciudad en la mía y en todas. es el futuro de las comunicaciones. energías limpias y sustentables... para la felicidad de todos los seres vivos. un abrazo y mi video. gemadeuruapan

  • stay out of HK, the air is appalling...

  • everyone prevents aquisition

  • tree huggerz

  • who needs to breathe. its a people problem. update the people.. and the city adapts

  • Why should Tokyo be smoggy? It on an island which is surrounded by a big body of sea water. The smog can blow in any direction and dissipate easily compared to Los Angeles for instance where the city is surrounded by mountains. Do they get that inversion layer over there as well?

  • hala!!tapat!!

  • Wow. Look at all those smog caused by farts. They should really stop farting. The UN should pass a law to ban all farting so that we can save the environment. To a fart-free future!

  • Okay first of all I read the comments and alot of you are very mad at eachother, I think lots of you are just scared and not sure how to react. second, Please do a favor to your future generations and don't have children because it's them that will have to suffer. And also, soon all of humanity will be wiped from a giant super volcano anyways. So live your life as a happy person.

    P.s. Some of you were being mature and I appligise for the speech.

  • That's fuckin shitty. Leave it to humans to destroy a one of a kind planet in a hurry

  • hong kong ranks #1 in economic freedom. So why can business and consumers create demand for environmentally friendly energy and vehicles!!?? Governments are not the best way to handle things!!??

  • Oh! my living place is sucks nowadays!

  • Comment removed

  • Environmental Protection Department is useless. They are big splenders, but do nothing in all those years. Totally crap. New York buses use electricity. Hong Kong buses got tons of pollution.

  • holy shit! anyone else notice the irony of the ''no smoking'' sign on 0:26............ lol

  • Hong Kong people also speak English.

    It is our colony.hahaha

  • lol my name

  • Yum smog. And we think its bad in the Los Angeles Basin.

  • wow thats a really polluted city, no wonder they had to close the traffic during the olympics when they were held in china

  • Hong Kong is 1224.9 miles from the Olympic city Bejing..

  • Comment removed

  • No regulation of waste disposale - Worst pollution problem.

  • i want to puke...and so does earth...

  • people look at the sky the chemtrails airplaines spraying that white dust. It is in Japan so much concentrated they want to kill us all half of humanity or three parts out of four it is coming because most of us do not look up in the sky ever to shoot down the mother fucker planes that do this.

  • Global Warming--now known as "Climate Change" Prop-AGENDA

  • A bit Crazy.. I think so and you?

  • Well China makes everything so this makes sense that most the pollution is coming from them. Damn

  • a bomb should explode their

  • ok terrorist.

  • math22math22:

    Too bad you don't know the proper version of "there".

  • Apparently he knows math, but not English. Do you need English to build the bombs he wants?

  • agreed

  • Hey guys! Today is just an awesome day! :)

    I really enjoyed this video. It was great!

  • SWEET!

  • =/ i dont see what the big deal about pollution is. we arent killing the planet with pollution, we are just speeding up the changes that occure naturally on earth.

  • Its called global warming. Its actually eating away the ozone layer which protects the atmosphere on this planet.

    Do some research because im sure a lot of people like you are too ignorant to realize what pollution really does.

  • Ozone is actually a greenhouse gas and contributes to global warming. I think you may be referring to CFC's. Do some research because I am sure that you are too ignorant to have done it already.

  • that is just a theory.

  • umm no. the planet does deteriorate overtime aslong as there are volcanos on it. like i said, we just speed the process up with pollution. dont call me ignorant when you are the one that doesnt know what you are talking about.

    ps. this is a response to another comment, which is why included the last part in it.

  • looks like L.A. in the 70's. Time to clean up the air.

  • the aliens are doing this!

    first the economic crysis now they start whiping out humanity.

    watch some videos about this, all things that happend resently is because of them,

    they tolld us that they would take away our power called "money" and they did.

    they tolld us that there would be a desies that would whipe out half the humanity

    and thats probably what is hapening right now.

  • Kid, even if aliens existed why would they even want to bother with us? Especially if they are more intellegent than we are, what would make them detour all of their plans just to see what would appear to them as an 'ancient civilization'. Aliens have no interest in human beings, nor Earth for that matter.

    Everything that is happening is doing so because of us. 78% of all climate change is a result to air pollutants caused by man made structures.

    Get your facts straight, and stay in school.

  • or maybe people are missing a point....the forgot who created them....very ture.....

    no offence.........but there are signs of His existence in this which i can see.....

    no offence once again.......

  • I seriously think that I am more scared of dying slowly from pollution than some apocalypse that is supposedly going to happen in the next 3 years or so. The pollution is ACTUALLY HAPPENING its not going to happen. It's already here.

    I don't know....does anyone else agree?

  • there are things being done right now to prevent this.. but not everywhere in the world and i don't think fast enough.. the whole world is in a recession so it's hard right now to focus on the enviroment

  • changes happen over time. and so far we all choose not to fix wut isnt broken.

  • umm u just said we chose to not fix the unbroken...cause its not broken.. maybe thats y...lol idk what ur trying to tell me here the global climate is changing and we are making changes obama is talking about going green and has plans to make an amazing improvement on global warming by giving green jobs and installing wind mills and solar power.. and giving tax cuts for buying hybrids that kind of stuff

  • Things are starting to break. Climate changes are evident in earth's history. like the dinosaurs lived in tropical climates and its only a problem cause the rest of the current plants and animals are more suited for the current climate. its not like change will happen over night. oil is everywhere plastics are from oil they are everywhere even in certain medicines but too green and all the plants mIght die of too little co2. we dont really need change just balance.

  • the dinosaurs lived in tropical climate because of pangea everything was closer to the center of the earth

  • Full of smog, but wheres the smug?

  • we need to act now

  • damn.....

    this is like that book Anthony Horowitz wrote:

    Necropolis.

  • This is going to be the entire world in 500 years or so.

  • Probably less than that.

  • I give it 60 years.

  • If we keep going how we are, in 500 years, we will either be living on other planets, or all dead.

  • by then we will find a more enviromental friendly way of getting power and using cars... we are already starting obama plans to use thousands of acres as solar farms for power

  • Glad I don't live there. Beautiful and cool city though.

  • farming doesn't make you wealthy only wealthy in land although i support my fellow countrymen farmers almost 100%

  • Comment 130!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • um... congrats?

  • and why can't we manufacture in the USA again? We have and can again,build products and buy them. We just need to lose the greed.

    If GM offered $15 per hour,they would've been rushed by people looking for good jobs.

    Why can't they give the employees the bailout and let them keep it going.

  • Cowell attacks Susan Boyle press coverage, full story at susanboylerocksmyworld(.)blogs pot(.)com

  • And that explains why tons of people are still buy guitar hero 3? I know its bad but dont even compare this to the great depression... its as if you are trying to mock them. But I do agree with you on corupt business. And the media plagues our rights. Time for a cultral REVOLUTION AND DEMAND WHAT WE DESERVE!

  • Looks like Pittsburg before we closed the steel mills and shiped jobs overseas to clean up the air.

  • I Agree With huginghippie On This One,

    I would also like to Apologize on the behalf of all the ignorant people in my country, Ignorance Is A Choice! and unfortunately some people in the United States Choose to live in ignorance!

    It Really sickens me!

    I AM A CITIZEN OF EARTH!

    THATS HOW I CHOOSE TO DEFINE MYSELF!

    It is my hope that others can learn to see it tha

  • Hong Kong is PRECISELY what Lao Tzu was warning the Chinese about!

    Now, his warnings have turned prophetic.

  • what did lao tzu warn?

  • read the "Tao Te Ching."

    google it.

  • that's what you fuckers get for ignoring Lao Tzu!!!!!!

    there is no excuse for you Chinese people either! Lao Tzu WAS CHINESE, AND YOU CAN READ HIM IN YOUR OWN LANGUAGE!!!!

  • 0:12 - 0:16

    its, Los Angeles.

  • Look at the lettering on the road at :15....

  • Isn't it 7 million people on a 15 mile radius? I hear Hong Kong is tightly packed; the squeezed 7 million people, into roughly the same area a U.S. small city of 100,000 takes up. That can't be healthy.

  • Yeah they don't have pets because they are so busy EATING THEM. If a person owns a cat or dog, a restaurant employee will steal it and boil it alive to be served as beef and chicken dishes!

  • Comment removed

  • what's with the racism!? & how the fcuk does it make an appearance on something that has to do with the Earth & its condition?? Talk about stuck in the past! Racism is BORING now we're all fuckin mixed in one way shape or form hence why we all have an at least similar humanoid appearance...seriously how low down in intelligence must you be if SKIN color or RACE is still an issue to you that you have to be abusive!?

    & Its NOT china's fault as such either. Remember we're ALL governed. Blame them!

  • that law is flexible. for a fee you can have more than one child.

  • Or we can gas the bastads lol

  • I saw we nuke the basterds for having so much fucking sex!!!!!

    LMFAO I swaer to god, China hsa the most people in the world, gas the basterds or something.

  • Damn this shits bad. Why so Racist?

    I cant believe that the Chinese people would even let it get to that point.

  • why is everyone arguing about race?...

    THIS IS ABOUT EARTH AND THE WAY WE'RE KILLING IT!!!

    Racism is just one of the obstacles which distracts small minds from our true enemy, ourselves... that smog is disgusting and I AM disgusted with the Chinese for letting it get to this point.. it is truly shameful... And shameful that it continues despite our awareness.

  • Comment removed

  • just like to point out that winterhaven is a fucking twat

    chinese people dont eat cats and you're clearly a retard

    maybe you could cut off your dick and shove it in your mouth till you choke to death :)

  • Yes they do! I read it in the news that Guang dong China eat 10,000 cats a day-boiled alive like lobsters. You all are fucking sadistic cat killers, and I have nothing but disgust and contempt for your fucked up country.

  • chinese people produces virus like SARS. BIRD FLUE, INFLUENZA,

  • Actually that's true. Bird flu came from chinese farm factories feeding their chickens amantadine and other antivirals as a prophylaxis - and became a monster flu bug when they adapted to these drugs.

  • you're probably one of those chicken gobbling niggers, which the US IS POLLUTED WITH.......

  • ya i have 2 cats... fluffy and Jamie... even tho i joke about eating fluffy cuz shes so fluffy and soft i wouldnt ever eat her!!! thats just pure disgusting

  • I Love this

    spendizzzle!

  • whatever, we eat cows and pigs. depends what you are used to.

  • winterhaven - "These fucking cat killers DESERVE to die of pollution. In Guangdong, China alone they eat 10,000 cats a day-boiled alive like lobsters-for human consumption.

    Pollute, baby, pollute! And let those China cat killing sick twisted fucks drop off like flies! - KEEP ON POLLUTING!!! '

    You are today's idiot of the day (probably worthy of it more than one time, but I caught you today at least).

    Your words are the words of a very angry and troubled man who needs therapy. God bless.

  • I agree that WINTERHAVEN is an idiot. how messed up are you to say such a thing. i don't eat cats but i also don't go wishing death upon those that do eat cats. grow up.

  • Anybody who eats cats DESERVES SARS and rabies. IN Guangdong China they eat 10,000 cats A DAY which is the sickest most disgusting thing I ever heard of. I now believe the rumors about Chinese eating human fetuses-so richly abundant from multiple abortion clinics-because they believe it makes their cock hard.

  • Moron, it's their culture. That is what they use for food, you don't see anybody else preaching about that we all deserve to die because we eat cows, pigs, chicken etc. You clearly missed the relevant topic in this video which might be surprising to you that the video has nothing to do with an issue about cats an dogs being eaten, rather the video being about pollution problems in hong kong. Next time, make sure what your going to complain about is indeed in the video so you don't look foolish.

  • amen

  • Can't take the truth, can you.

  • YOU IGNORANT FUCK just because they have different preferences if you saw a pig get killed before you ate it you wouldn't want people to eat the pig either dumb shit

  • i never said cat meat is okay but it's just because they are different it means they are supposed to die. like say you are muslim, muslims don't eat pork, if they wanted you to die because you ate pork would that seem right?

  • This is so sad because it's such a cool town. I visited there last year as my first international trip and was surprised to see all the smogish air. I hope something is done about it ):

  • 260,000,000 US dollars? Thats less than the Yankees payroll come on please

  • I love how they interviewed that guy at 0:29 in front of a no smoking sign lol

  • kind of reminds me of Los Angeles.

  • I Love this,

  • if your going to quote Einstien at least do it correctly. The quote was "Only two things are infinate, the universe, and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe." Einstien

  • If you are going to correct someone, at least spell it correctly. Infinate is not a word. Infinite is a word. Einstien never said any of that either, but a man named Einstein did.

  • hey! just in time for earth day! lol

  • Hybrid cars would help? >.>

  • use whip-speed herbal fuel additive in fuels like petrol,diesel,carasine&furnus, make without pollution world

  • OMG.....

    Shut up, neilmcdonald72

  • how racist. what are you?

  • wow, where did you get your statistics?

    have you travelled out of Canada at least?

    maybe you were just talking about your neighborhood and not theworld as a whole. and nuke asians? hmmm, how insensible and arrogant comment coming from an ignorant kid.

  • wow, where the fuck is the logic in these type of statements =.=. ignorant piece of shit

  • Because nuking them wont do any damage to the earth at all...>.>

  • I Love this

  • Okay, even if that is true, I don't think Nuclear Missles radiation is much better for the Earth then smog.

  • of course, to right wingers smog, pollution and climate change DO NOT EXIST.

    they think it is "ARROGANT to think that HUMANS could have any effect on the climate at all."

    their words not min.

  • Smog is becoming a problem in many cities throughout the world(Beijing, Los Angeles, etc). All the governments of the world should act quickly to implement the infrastructure needed for green cars, such as fuel-cell cars, hybrids, and diesel cars. As far as I know, BMW is coming out with a group of diesel-powered cars and SUV's. Diesel is more efficient than gasoline and it's much more environmentally friendly.

  • And what exactly is your view of the video? if your not gonna leave a comment i believe u are just spamming now, and who are you to suggest that I'm dumb?! also for your inappropriate use of your selected word, I am now going to report you, and there's no need for a reply, i will not dignify you further more with a responce.

  • No, you merely stated that the video was stupid without valid reason for justification.

    So, users will stop 'harassing' you, when you post a smart comment with intelligent reason. It's okay to disagree, but its foolish to state so without reason.

    You're a hong kong girl too, you should be concerned. This is our home, and yet you are too concerned with the fact that it is not just our issue to do anything about it? You can't tackle a world issue all at once, it starts one city at a time.

  • i dont think u quite understand the concept of leaving a comment... it's so i can express what i thought of the video, not to abuse other people who think otherwise, so why dont you be quiet, because the only one that looks like a fool now is you.

  • wow its horrible there are so many things they can use for energy that can power it, wind mills, Tesla coils, wind turbines, solar power, and much more but they just have to use it that way how selfish are we.

  • This video is stupid!!! pollution is almost a worldwide hazard.. how dare they pin it on the one country

  • Hong Kong isn't a country. Its a city.

  • watever that wasnt the moral of the story

  • so what do take issue with my dear?

  • we started fixing our pollution problem in the '60's when I was in elementary school, that's why we pay a higher price for goods here. If China would work on there pollution problem we wouldn't be buying cheap stuff from there cuz it would cost them just like it did us

  • malaysia is always 33 degree celcius!!!! huh...

  • A good template for other regions who's politicians refuse to admit, that bloody individual traffic is killing people and fucking up the economy. But probably most will wait until their own cities are not a place to live. There is no win without loss.

  • I live in Hong Kong. This report fails to address that pollution here is mostly due to factories in Southern China. Those factories have slowed. And, Hong Kong's air quality has GREATLY improved recently I spent 9 years in NYC and I would take HK's air quality over NYC anytime. Also, it's incredibly ignorant to assume that people are wearing masks to combat pollution. The city is still incredibly sensitive to spreading germs after SARs. Happy Earth Day.

  • I live here too, and I agree that the factories just north of us contribute tremendously. However, HK isn't taking action on pollution which is created within the city itself, and that's a problem in itself which is worrying. If the government doesn't protect our health (in this context), how are we to persuade China that this is an important issue to us and we expect them to do the same, especially when they takeover?

    Baby steps my friend, we need to take baby steps.

  • everybody's economy has slowed, question 4 u is what will happen to the air quality when and if the world ever gets it act together and starts buying stuff again.

  • Yes and the factories re-open? We need the government to take a bigger stance on environment issues, because we are not a democratic society, the power is not in the people. But the air pollution has steadily increased over the years, and it doesn't have much to do with the economy.

  • I Love this

  • true that

  • the plain fact is that places all around the world are experiencing terrible changes in their climate and environmental conditions. places like Los Angeles have always been covered by smog and is always hazy. To all the racist bastards out there dissing Asians, you guys need to seriously back off and stop being little snooty bitches! Grow the f**k up! I have been to Hong Kong about eight times...like most cities, hazy days are influenced by climates and these places are not always hazy.

  • PEOPLE.

    That was like a week in 2008 -_-.

    Its not smoggy anymore.

    Its just hot

    very very hot >:(

    28 degrees.

    Raining a lot as well.

    I live in HK, I should know.

  • sad just like mexico city!

  • look like ouch

  • hong kong was such a nice clean looking place the last time i went

    this is kinda sad

  • i think you need to take your racist bitchass and stick it up yours! people like you are a disgrace to everything that's good. like come on seriously? you're gonna put down asians and say they are the cause of pollution? are you blind to the rest of the world? shut the hell up dude

  • f**king American... don't talk about pollution..

  • You're a moron who thinks inside the box and believes what you hear on TV.

  • i dont watch TV.... i go places with people. lol. no lives are such losers.

  • ur life is a waste

  • i went there last october it looked fine to me.

  • lol..but what about the animals??

  • then use pollution control dammit!

  • lets say global warming is nor real. the do we want this?

  • I don't. Graciously thankful for renewable energy. Shit.

  • Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,

    Those days of asthma, emphysema, and death.

  • lmao

  • Welcome to progress...

  • hehehe
