  • There definitely is something wrong with the world, we billions of citizens are allowing our planet and way of life to be controlled in an unhealthy way. There is absolutely no reason why every person on the planet can have at least a safe and decent way of life. Our entire system is being controlled by money and the greedy thieves of wall-street. There are very easily obtainable solutions for most of our problems today, but it is our elected officials who stop us from obtaining anything at all.

  • the only thing i wanna say.. we need nuclear weapons to be tossed at china... if they dont fix this problem

  • While it's true China has a lot of cleaning up to do, it's not like we're saints in America. Stop acting like we're so clean and responsible. We ship our electronic waste to China! People are more concerned with driving their Suburbans and having an easy, convenient lifestyle rather than taking responsibility for this. It's nobody's fault but our own. I'm guilty of it, and I'm sure the majority of all of you are too. Though we may not deal with this consequences, our children will.

  • @madmankitchen I don't know how any of that is relevant to my initial argument, but ok.

  • @madmankitchen Actually I am, come from a military even and have done ROTC myself in college, I am just educated, in economics for that matter. But like I said, thats exactly what I expected from a post like yours, asking handouts disguised at patriotism.

  • @madmankitchen This sounds like a great idea. I can spend twice as much on something made in the U.S. or get the exact same product made in China for half as much if not less. Why am I expected to do this? Oh yes, so I can support some under educated Union workers who are paid over twice as much as they are worth.No thanks, how about the Union workers get educations and realize that the US is moving away from being a manufacturing based economy and stop expecting handouts disguised as patriotism

  • If Pollution Destroys a Mountain China Builds a Mountain

  • Ok I think all of you are being REDICULOUS.! Like seriously right now? People are dying because of air pollution over there and all you guys can do is talk shit? Im quite sure the citizens over there don't want it like that over there but they have no choice. Wtf

  • Well it figures, sure we as American are not perfect, United States is not the cleanest and some want to keep it that way, but China there communist, and thats what commys do, make alot of money and piss on the people.

  • fuck his motherfucking china. burn this motherfucking bullshitting country down.

  • @oldakustikblues Cuz nobody cares. Why talk about how good China is when you can talk about how bad China is? /sarcasm ;)

  • And why nobody talks about the largest reforestation project ever, made by chinese? Or about the kioto protocol, only ignored by usa? IN spanish thats called "darte golpes de pecho" or "rasgarse las vestiduras" hipócritamente, claro.

  • we need a giant vaccum to suck China's pollution into Outer space.

  • China is the most polluted country in the world :)

  • Freedom and Democracy in China

    I belong to everyone while noone really owns me

    Peopel died just to have me completely (Tian an men massacre)

    Life is not worth living without me :)

  • this is such a one sided report!! America suffering because of China's pollution! Why is that?

    America exports all its waste to China and refuses to process it / recycle it and ships it to China to reduce costs.

    As the great American saying goes 'What comes around goes around!'

  • @ogicabp4u

    It's typical, and frustrating, the propaganda that comes from these shit "news" stations.

  • @savemyplaylist

    agreed!

  • I am used to spread the truth while people hired by some governments tries to use me to hide the truth

    Some governments are affraid of me because they don't understand me.

    You are told to reject me but you know you cannot live without me :)

  • With nearly 7 billion people in the world, and quickly growing, pollution is our only hope for population control. We need as much pollution possible, which is why I"m going to support Sarah Palin for president so she can do away with all environmental controls. Drill baby drill! Keep that smog a flowing!

  • China owns USA - we borrowed hundreds of billions of dollars from them. And they made their money due to pollution :-)

  • @WinterHaven

    hahaha ain't that the truth. However, most Americans are too stupid to know that China owns their ass.

  • You got that right - and most Americans want Sarah Palin as their leader - stupid leading the stupid.

  • China is all about itself, USA will run the world and China cant nor does it want to

    China is a sucky nation for obvious reasons (no human rights and their people seem happy to live oppressed)

    But they are one messy country and they will have plenty of three arm babies in the near future

  • the U.S has to work with China and the other nations in the United Nations to form a Carbon Policy for all countries and the U.S must also teach china and help them with renewable energy , it's the only way to stop the problem before it get's bigger...

  • Global warming caused by man is a big HOAX. The liberals have been lying but now the news is out thanks to the hacker that got a hold of all those e-mail that clearly point out that the song and dance that global warming is caused by man has been a LIE.

  • China is a dirty cesspool with coal plants destroying the earth and a slave state with a billion slaves. Anywhere you go in China you don't have to stand up because the herds of stinking slave humans will hold you up and carry you along. They cut down all their forests under Mao and their rivers are streams of chemicals and sewage where no fish can live. Chinese don't deserve to live.

  • No one should buy the line, 'The Chinese won't do anything as long as the U.S. doesn't.'

    Why should they do anything like us?

    That's a path to an epic fail.

    China might be a little smoggy now but what do they care?They're winning a race that we can't run.

    They have no EPA, OSHA, EEOC, Labor or Trade Unions rules like ours.

    The trial lawyers who run Congress don't know how to create anything but misery. That is their basic DNA and U.S. industry will suffer as long as they hold us down.

  • a "little smoggy" I'm coming to your house and pump coal dust into it until you choke to death and then call it a "little smoggy".

  • This is exactly why I got rid of my car 2 years ago. It doesn't matter who pollutes where. There is only ONE EARTH and we all need to do our part and DON'T FUCK IT UP!

    Stupid people always point the finger at someone else after it's too late.

  • Why does China feel that they have to be on the same standing as America? Do they are doing in decades what it took us a hundred years to do...and they're not satisfied...the Chinese are greedy

  • why? just because you have been living it up for the longest so you are more entitled to do it?

  • nuke them all

  • China a poor country? Gimme a break...

  • NASCAR

  • This is disgusting

  • This reportage makes China feel guilty, rightly, but good gracious... look who's talking! Superpowers always don't give a damn about anything or anyone, they pretend they're interested but they keep on their traffics and they don't care Kyoto, either

  • China = Toxic, communist shithole

  • God Bless China

    Atheist Bless America

    Atheist = Loses

  • Comment makes ZERO sense..

    China= Communist atheist country, religious groups are imprisoned.

    USA= Christian democracy with freedom of speech and religion.

  • Your Comment makes ZERO sense too..

    China= Communist country, starting have faith to God.

    USA= Atheist fast growing with freedom of against religion.

    Most American young people don't believe in God~~~

  • Hehe, communist China imprisons/tortures/ harvests the organs of religious people there. America is less than 4% atheist, and is the beacon of religious freedom on Earth. To compare my country with communist China on this matter is about as logical as eating rat poison. Pull your head out of your ass and take a breath.

  • America is more than 40% atheist,

    Proof?

    AMazing Atheist

    ThunderF00T

    RapidApes

    China are Kung Fu Panda Watch out~~~

  • i don't get how religion ends up in a political debate, it has nothing to do with being capitalist or communist

  • 1 word

    NASCAR

  • Are the communists making any effort to clean up their power stations ????

  • hell yeah

    they have trees in cities and america have nascar

    hypocritical

  • I hope you haven't been watching CCTV or the BBC.

  • NASCAR

    what does this have to do with other biasd news networks

    i am saying a source than your saying something that has nothing to do with this

  • fuckin america blame everyone but themselves so fuckin typical- their never wrong god their dickheads- stupidest government in the world, look at la theres more cars there than porple so whats this bullshit about china polluting us fuck em who cares anyway the pollution would reach australia first before america so theyre just talking shit- why cant the powers to be fuck america off to mars or somewhere out of our world

  • Doubt that it would reach austrailia before it reaches america, the jetstream I believe doesn't cut that far south in the northern hemisphere.

  • Why DO YOU COCKROACHINKS NEVER SHOWER AND SMELL LIKE STINK SHIT FOWL FART GARBAGE ROTTEN FISH?

    Why DO YOU COCKROACHINKS NEVER SHOWER AND SMELL LIKE STINK SHIT FOWL FART GARBAGE ROTTEN FISH?

    Why DO YOU COCKROACHINKS NEVER SHOWER AND SMELL LIKE STINK SHIT FOWL FART GARBAGE ROTTEN FISH?

  • we should round em up and kill em all. that would solve a LOT of the worlds problems. not just the US's problems

  • If you buy cheap Chinese product, chances are it contains harmful chemicals. What can you expect with cheap quality and standards? I say, tax the Chinese and inforce the quality, then that would make the price go up. Good for China, and it's workers as well as the customers.

  • Any intelligent person would look at per capita and not total. Anybody knows that 1.3 billion ppl will make more carbon than .3 billion like US. 6.7 tonnes of carbon is emitted per capita by US, the highest in the world, while only 1.7 tonnes comes per capita from china. The average person in france, australia, even sweden pollutes more than the average chinese person. But if you take totals obviously 1.3 billion will release alot. Ppl are such dumb hypocrites.

  • No an intelligent person would look at total and not per capita because mother nature doesn't care about per capita when it comes to polluting the environment.

  • so your saying that the chinese ppl who already make 4 times less pollution per person compared to US should make even less just because their country happens to have 1 billion ppl? and your saying that australia with 20 million have the right to increase their pollution many fold since their total would still be beneath china's making china the one who mainly needs to take action. Per capita is important because it refers to equality among ppl in the world to make the same amount of carbon.

  • No I never said any of that. I said that a grand total in terms of pollution is what matters to mother nature. Per capita is only important to humans. Imagine a lake that only requires 2000 gallons of acid to kill it off, both the USA and PRC dump 2000 gallons into a diff lake, the USA per capita is 5 gallons and PRC per capita is 1, you think the lake is going to say that since the PRC side is lower per capita it isn't going to die off? The earth only cares about a threshold/grand total.

  • Per capita is incredibly important. It tells which people are the most responsible and if the people who pollute the most per capita don't change they can't expect anyone else to. The chinese and indian people want the same standard of living as those in the US meaning they will want to consume as many resources and energy as US ppl. What do you think will happen when each chinese/indian makes as much as a US person or Canadian? But we can't tell each chinese person to make less when we dont.

  • Per capita is important but only too humans not to Earth. Earth only cares about grand total. Here is something to think about, china only has to have a per capita 1/4 that of the US to equal the same amount of consumption.

  • question: what do you suggest is the solution??

    another thing to think about: US and Europe together only have 700 million and produce much more pollution than china with 1.3billion.

    Per capita matters to humans and nature cuz if one group decides to pollute alot others will follow and nature will be hurt in the end. And it's important to consider what matters to humans. humans in china will believe in equality and feel they deserve to consume as much as the average american or european.

  • What do I suggest? That people stop using the per capita excuse to not do anything and say hey my per capita is a lot lower then the US but I'm not going to use that as a justification for not taking the initiative to do our part to reduce the pollution we create as much as we can. Just because the US doesn't, doesn't mean other countries should do the same. That isn't a statement saying what the US is doing is "ok/right/fair" by the way.

  • No country right now is bothering to do as much as they can to reduce their grand total pollution.

  • And I suggest that people stop using the argument "hey china is polluting the most in terms of total, so even though each of us north americans make more per person and even though china is just trying to live as well as we do, we're just gonna point our fingers at china and see them as the bad guys." People should stop using the total excuse as well.

  • They should. Everyone needs to fing knock it off and just do it regardless whether or not someone is doing something or not.

  • everyone needs to knock it off: but should a guy who is producing 4 times as much as another knock it off a bit more??

  • Ya they should a bit more but the person who is producing 1/4 the amount shouldn't use it as a justification to increase their pollution.

  • Per capita means nothing to nature, its all about a threshold/grand total. Again look at the lake example.

  • When looking at what affects nature, you have to see the human side of it cuz it's humans that are doing it. You can't just say "decrese the total." That's such a basic way to look at it and it solves nothing and doesn't say what the root of the problem is, or why ppl do what they do. You have to ask WHY people do it and that involves looking at the human side and per capita.  That's the only way to eventually come up with a HUMAN solution that will decrease the total.

  • And again: the chinese want to live as well as we do. As long as we keep consuming so much, the rest of the world will follow. Until we find a way to consume less, don't expect each chinese or indian to consume less. That's why per capita is important: cuz if one person makes alot per capita everyone will follow and the TOTAL will be huge.

  • In end when it comes to pollution a total is what matters not per capita. No one is denying neither am I the human side/per capita is important but like I said in the end when it comes to pollution, Earth doesn't care about a per capita it only cares about a threshold or total. Like that lake example, it doesn't matter how you get to that threshold because the damage is all the same.

  • I think china is more justified in polluting a lake than the industrialized countries. China is trying to pull many people out of poverty which takes many resources for 1.3 billion. I feel the industrialized countries just keep polluting to make more money than they need.

    I think if the industrialized countries found more methods/technologies to stay developed AND environmentally friendly they could pass that onto developing countries. I do agree that everyone needs to do their part.

  • Just because someone is more justified doesn't they mean they should. China's land is being destroyed by their own polluion, you see in the video their farm land are starting to become toxic, pulling many people out of poverty is a good thing but there are different means in attaining that goal and I agree that with sheer number of people it will take many resources. But if they keep going on this path their country that was once beutiful will become nothing but a toxic desert in the future.

  • I agree that countries that have found more methods/technologies to stay developed and environmentally friendly should pass them onto developing countries.

    One thing all nations could do right now is use Fluorescent Light Bulbs in all places lights are used. Sadly a program hasn't been developed on a national scale in america to recycle the very small amounts of mercury they contain. There are facilities for them but no national program.

  • The goodnews is that the EPA and businesses, such as walmart and target and other stores, are starting to heavily push consumers to buy CFL bulbs.

  • Are any of us justified in polluting a lake? The mistakes of the past should be solved. We shouldn't say, well u did this so im justified in doing the same. Its simplys unmoral. Its like saying well Jeffery Dahmer killed thirteen people so if i kill ten its not that bad. We all need to slow down the pollution.

  • Are any of us justified in polluting a lake? The mistakes of the past should be solved. We shouldn't say, well u did this so im justified in doing the same. Its simplys unmoral. Its like saying well Jeffery Dahmer killed thirteen people so if i kill ten its not that bad. We all need to slow down the pollution.

  • i never said it justifies it. I said it's hypocritical. It's like if jeffery dahmer criticized 3 other people because together those 3 ppl killed 20 ppl while jeffery dahmer himself killed thirteen. thats what its like when industrialized countries criticize others for polluting.

  • It maybe propaganda, but it's true. China really needs to clean up, every nation does.

  • the thing is china is already taking action, china is now taking action faster than how american industrial age pollution is like. So this is a propaganda just another way how americans bashing on china. things that i really hate about americans

  • Chinese dog eating bastards are causing more pollution than the US and Europe combined.

  • China is the direct cause of the pollution, but the U.S. is the indirect cause. We buy most of the shit they make in China. If we stop buying the shit, their production will decrease and so will the pollution. It's really our fault. We outsourced the production to them for the cheap labor and so we wouldn't have to see how much pollution WE are causing.

  • Fuck those communists dog eating bastards.If more pollution reaches us, we should declare war on the Communists and clean up their act for them.This is just terrible, the whole world should declare war on China.

  • China and India have a LOT more people. US is still way ahead in per capita pollution. You can't just compare countries...otherwise France and Singapore would have the right to pollute as much as the US.

  • the amount of oxygen is decreasing

    as the amount of carbon dioxide is increasing at this rate we should not be finger pointing but trying to help by using the bus and instead of cars espacally in china,no offense fyi.

  • you do need to know that the more the carbon dioxide the healtheir the tree and plants will be, because they will be bigger and larger due to greater carbon dioxice, but the problem is it give the plants more food to eat but the bad thing is carbon is killing humans lol

  • Stupid ChiComs are poisoning themselves, first and foremost.

    Infant retardation rates are going through the roof. A half a million people die prematuraly each year from the toxic air. And who knows how many come down with cancer from the water/food.

    Dumbasses.

  • coolworx, please express your arrogant xenophobic hatred in other terms, thanks =)

  • i agree! if all the world axept china stop polluting it wont work the temperature will continue to rise coz every week they open a mine factory that cause the pollution of 1000 cars can ou believe this!!! these chinese people are unbelivebel!!!

  • LOL... We pollute too.

  • who's going to believe you americans...

    what a bunch of bullshit propaganda-

    while the world has summits at kyoto about

    what we can do about climate change, america

    bombs the poor to get more oil.

    then they turn around and blame the chinese.

    i hat the usa, your cheese in a can washes up on my beach everyday-

    your war criminal leader killed 2million innocent people for his family oil company

    why should they change for you?

    they should bomb you, then we don't have to listen to lies

  • BORING.

  • They are destroying our planet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hahaha... American look at ur ass, before U look others LOL>>

  • if you watch this video closely you can pick it apart easily. they really have little basis if any for most of the stuff that they say. they use subtle phrases like "stand to reason that" and then the dude w/ the news voice is like "HURT AMERICANS!"

    this is stupid

  • so china's pollutions reaching the u.s. lets not forget whose the number polluter (U.S). point is every nation needs to change

  • makes u wonder how much point there is in recycling etc when selfish americans and now chinese clearly don't give a ****. still gonna do it but wtf

  • does the air really look all fogy like that from pollution or is it just plain fog

  • VIDEOS on YOUTUBE :

    v=ArUxgB8oy2g

    v=rz7UNxnOI3M

    v=-J0ypnRvkpw

  • We are all responsible for beating up on old mother earth. I don't think she can take to much more abuse from us!

  • if earth was a person,,,she'd definately had already commited suicide or just brushed us off into space

  • Yep, i agree... but that's no excuse for China to make food toxic to human and animal life. Is it?

  • The Chinese are going to ruin the planet. I live here and the pollution is mindboggling. Just like the video shows, clear days give way to gray dreary overcast. The air pollution blocks the sun's rays most of the time. God, why did I get suckered into coming here!?

  • Typical American propoganda. FUCK OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • no its not, its true and im chinese too

  • lol, q1ax responded. Should I say in your face? dont get brain washed by communist controlled media nor other medias. Seeing is believing, if you live in that kind of environment and still say "Typical American propoganda. FUCK OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!! ", then GET REAL!

  • china is worse, they dont care if people die fast.

  • This is ironic, seeing as the USA are a major polluter too, in fact, they pollute more per person than China. Some pollution from the USA finds its way to the UK, so the USA aren't alone suffering from others pollution.

  • Just another reason we REALLY need to think about pollution a lot more than we already are. :(

  • Hopefully all the major countries in the world will try harder in the future.
