In other news, millions of Americans flock to department stores for fake happiness.

Kind of reminds me of the folks who go to the trouble of going places and are compulsive picture-takers. I mean, what I really don't get are those who take pictures of landmarks (without people posing next to them, I mean) or paintings in museums (I could understand an obscure work but what about a Monet?). Do they not realize that they could find the very same thing online?

In La Ca. 25 percent of the air pollution is from coal fired plants in China.
I dont know how much of Ca. pollution makes it back to China, but I know its One Air. Whats on the big screen in La, Artificial

What a disaster That country is HH wrote. Are we better off??? Test site Mercury,
Hanford 80 percent of ground water in America Polluted. ect. Gulf.
we are no better than China, We consume more per pop here in north america. as our carbon print proves.
The world is guilty of burning 30 million barrels a day, to blame one country today wont help

The City With the Most Dangerous Air Pollution Isn’t in China

[www.salon.com]

"A very bad air day in Beijing is about an average one in New Delhi"

"Despite all you’ve heard about China’s multiple airpocalypses, the most dangerous place to have a set of lungs is somewhere else entirely. And yet nobody’s talking about it. The New York Times has this necessary piece on the underreported smog epidemic in India’s capital, where the concentration of PM2.5 — the fine particulate matter believed to cause the greatest health risk, is consistently higher than that in Beijing:

…for the first three weeks of this year, New Delhi’s average daily peak reading of fine particulate matter from Punjabi Bagh, a monitor whose readings are often below those of other city and independent monitors, was 473, more than twice as high as the average of 227 in Beijing. By the time pollution breached 500 in Beijing for the first time on the night of Jan. 15, Delhi had already had eight such days. Indeed, only once in three weeks did New Delhi’s daily peak value of fine particles fall below 300, a level more than 12 times the exposure limit recommended by the World Health Organization.

“It’s always puzzled me that the focus is always on China and not India,” said Dr. Angel Hsu, director of the environmental performance measurement program at the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy. “China has realized that it can’t hide behind its usual opacity, whereas India gets no pressure to release better data. So there simply isn’t good public data on India like there is for China.” "

Beijing air pollution reaches crisis levels; can China survive its toxic environment?
Tuesday, January 28, 2014 by: Thomas Henry

Well, if they don't survive, we won't have to pay them all the money we owe them

Yet as they produce so much pollution, they're installing more solar power than anyone else in the world. How very yin and yang of them...[digitaljournal.com]

From a neighbor who's an airline pilot... "You can smell the pollution in New Delhi before you even descend to land."

It looks like all that pollution affected their brain and they finally snapped -

Chinese Passengers Start Riot in Airport Over Delayed Flights

As millions of Chinese attempt to return home after New Year celebrations, irate travellers are seen smashing computers and chairs at one airport

[www.telegraph.co.uk]

"A “riot” broke out at a major Chinese airport on Thursday night after more than 2,000 passengers were left stranded because of heavy snow.

Furious, marauding passengers were seen “smashing computers and chairs” at Xinzheng International Airport in Zhenghou, Henan province, the Global Times newspaper reported."

dioxide emissions per capita
From Wikipedia,
CO2 emission per capita per year per country (2000 data)

This is a list of countries by carbon dioxide emissions per capita from 1990 through 2009. All data were calculated by the US Department of Energy's Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC), mostly based on data collected from country agencies by the United Nations Statistics Division.[1] Countries are ranked by their metric tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per capita in 2009. The data only considers carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels and cement manufacture, but not emissions from land use such as deforestation.

The carbon dioxide emissions of a country are only an indicator of one greenhouse gas. For a more complete idea of how a country influences climate change, gases such as methane and nitrous oxide should be taken into account. This is particularly so in agricultural economies.

Wow, that's a lot of carbon emissions

The average Chinese person's carbon footprint is now almost on a par with the average European's, figures released on Wednesday reveal.

China became the largest national emitter of CO2 in 2006, though its emissions per person have always been lower than those in developed countries such as Europe.

But today's report, which only covers emissions from energy, by the PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency and the European commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) show that per capita emissions in China increased by 9% in 2011 to reach 7.2 tonnes per person, only a fraction lower than the EU average of 7.5 tonnes.

The figure for the US is still much higher – at 17.3 tonnes – though total Chinese CO2 emissions are now around 80% higher than those of America. This widening gap reflects a 9% increase in total emissions in China in 2011, driven mainly by rising coal use, compared with a 2% decline in the US.

Total emissions in Europe and Japan also fell last year, by 3% and 2% respectively. But emissions rose across much of the developing world, including India, which saw a 6% increase. As a result, OECD nations now account for only around a third of the global total.

The figures published on Wednesday – like most official data on carbon emissions – are based on where fossil fuels are burned. A recent UK select committee report argued that it was also important to consider the import and export of goods when considering national responsibility for climate change. This would affect today's data, because previous studies have suggested that almost a fifth of Chinese emissions are caused by the production of goods for export.

In addition, the new county data exclude international travel, which accounts for 3% of the global total and is likely to be heavily weighted towards richer countries. Non-CO2 greenhouse gases such as methane and nitrous oxide are also excluded.

For these reasons, the total carbon footprint of the average European most likely remains substantially higher than that of the average Chinese person. In addition, Europe, the US and other developed countries have contributed a disproportionate share of the historical emissions that have caused the warming to date and will remain in the atmosphere for decades or centuries to come.

But a recent study showed that even when imports and international travel are taken into account, the developed world now accounts for less than half of current global emissions. Moreover, China's emissions may be even higher than reported today according to another study showing that the country's official energy statistics were as much as 20% lower than they should be.

Owing to factors such as these, precise national emissions figures will remain the subject of debate. Globally, however, the picture is clear. Total emissions from fossil fuels and cement increased by 3%, leaving global emissions at a record 34bn tonnes of CO2. That is less than the rise in 2010, when emissions shot up by 5% as the world economy bounced back from recession, but higher than the average annual increase for the past decade, which stands at 2.7%. This suggests that efforts to curb global emissions have so far failed to make any impact.

The continued steep rise in global carbon emissions will make it even more difficult for the world's nations to fulfil their stated aim of limiting temperature rise to 2C, considered a danger threshold after which the risks of irreversible climate change increase.

According to the report, if global emissions continue on their current trend, the world will commit itself to 2C of warming within two decades.
