Very sad to see humans destroy the beautiful Earth.This is a serious problem and it seems no one cares.

Get a grip. If you want to do something positive for the economy and the environment, bomb Chinese factories. That will displace production to cleaner methods, and will stop the subsidization of communism, which enslaves people, by market economies, which free people.

Instead, pathological and guilt-based systems such as Kyoto insist that the worst polluters are given a pass on pollution.

hey California invented pollution...that is your gift to the world that and the cess pool called LA

[AnduinX]

-continued- I'll also bet the liberals in California, who have a strong 'natural and organic' culture will not be too pleased when this crap reaches them. I can't imagine they'll be quiet about it. In the future, much of the world is going to be pissed at China for this.

[AnduinX]

-continued- India, another big contributor to this cloud has to eat it themselves. When their own people begin to suffer health problems due to it, I'll wager India will be strongly pressured by its people to reduce emissions - but China will keep on going. The result will be despite India lowering emissions they still have to eat China's cloud and I bet that will cause a great deal of anger between the two.

[AnduinX]

I predict this will be a major cause of tension between China and the world. Take a look at 0:38 of this movie. The flow of the cloud has it practically burying all of India, and it is now reaching Saudi Arabia and approaching the United States. The bulk of China seems to be unscathed, despite the fact that they're the biggest contributor to this cloud. China, being less effected by this will have less incentive to reduce emissions and less outrage from their people.
