Progress! The future is now. This is right out of a dystopian novel or movie about the future.

ROFL.

Now that "Yule Log" on television doesn't look so cheesy after all.

People used to understand that the Chinese were inscrutable.

” ‘I couldn’t see the tall buildings across the street this morning,’ said a traffic coordinator at a busy Beijing intersection who gave only his surname, Zhang. ‘The smog has gotten worse in the last two to three years. I often cough, and my nose is always irritated. But what can you do? I drink more water to help my body discharge the toxins.’ “


And the water they drink is toxic.

There ability to steal manufacturing and R&D - while gaining momentum in the economic and funding sectors - will poison their nation to no end...they are sacrificing everything to gain an immediate satisfaction - it would be nice to see this slap in the face on the Communists that are allowing this - as one more example of failure from trying to gain top status by sacrificing their people!

United Nations climate chief Christiana Figueres said that democracy is a poor political system for fighting global warming. Communist China, she says, is the best model.

China may be the world’s top emitter of carbon dioxide and struggling with major pollution problems of their own, but the country is “doing it right” when it comes to fighting global warming says Figueres.

I guess televising sunrise is doing it right.

I spotted three or four SUVs in that traffic jam. That’s probably the problem right there.

I’m sure Al Gore is out in front of this issue with the communist regime there to stop global warming right?...I bet he is in their face all day long telling them they are ruining the world and making it warm right?....I bet he has a plan to sell carbon credits to all those factories over there right?....

The enviro movement is enamored of China and the former soviet union for some reason, always portraying them both as “far more environmentally conscious than the U.S. is.”
What a laugh.

When I was laid up with an injury a few years back I used to love watching the “Sunrise Earth” series - I think it was Animal Planet or something was showing them every morning right around dawn.

At one time, some of the industrialized northern US cities had gas streetlights that burned during the day so that you could see through the pollution.
