NewSci, not surprisingly, makes almost no comment about that, pretending to be distracted by the ability to detect shipping lanes by their NO2 signatures.
Which one is DNC Headquarters?
That's very pretty with the bright blues and reds.
Just as I suspected: Bangkok, Singapore, Jakarta.
The nose knows.
Does Teresa still have a mansion down there? Maybe she left the windows open.
Bump for later-- when I'm able to use something other than a text-only browser...
Geez ....All the liberal strongholds are the biggest polluters.!!
Looks to me like the Kyoto accords should be re-written to harass China and nearby countries instead of the United States.
Nahhh...the Leftists would never go for that. In their eyes, China is a worker's utopia. (*gag* *retch* *puke*)
Is East Germany and Lombardy standing out in Europe?
The only hot spot in FL is Jax, probably cuz of the base. Good thing you got out of there!
Think I'll take a long ride in my SUV this weekend!
Just as a note, NS is the DEBKA of science sites. Just this week, they have 3 homosexual genetic proof articles running.
100 years ago, there were many more full, busy rural communities. Since then, people have been concentrated more in the cities by leftist, anti-agricultural policies, thus not allowing the Earth to do its cleansing thing in those low-lying, arable lands around our largest cities.
But the left is not concerned with those lands where food and animals can grow densely. Lefty thinks it's pretty in the sterile west and doesn't want any unwashed, conservative rif-raf living around her. She fantasizes that she is the only intended arbiter of her scenic, dry places where those populations should be living--where drainage and filtering would be better for larger populations. ...where very little grows.
So she tries to keep most of the population concentrated in what would otherwise be greener earth.
Silent? It says: "The map, based on 18 months worth of satellite data, shows very high levels of NO2 above major European and North American cities and across much of north-east China."
It says the ship track detection is "surprising". The level of pollution in China is NOT surprising. It's a mess. It's all the factories and coal-burning power plants. I've been to Guangzhou in the winter (the orange spot in southern China). First day there, in a hotel on the Pearl River, we couldn't see a big bridge about 3/4 of a mile away. We got lucky with a cold front that cleared the air out the next day and could see it. But it's usually choking with smog.
In the U.S. the pollution is almost entirely situated over Kerry country, which leads me to the conclusion that pollution must help make people stupid.
