Alan Taylor, The Atlantic, with photos of China’s horrific air quality:
Since the beginning of this year, the levels of air pollution in Beijing have been dangerously high, with thick clouds of smog chasing people indoors, disrupting air travel, and affecting the health of millions. The past two weeks have been especially bad – at one point the pollution level measured 40 times recommended safety levels.
The price of “progress”?
As our handsome pal, Gordon Carrie, shared - “we are living on this planet as if we had another one to go to.”
