Don’t Believe It

I need to read the study because this article is so full of holes. I like how it says that stricter clean air regulations “in China”. “Smaller than PM2.5”. What?…. I’ve heard similar things said by a high profile EPA director in person several years ago. He said that the worsening air in LA was causing the huge increase in childhood asthma there. I pointed out that the air quality there had vastly improved over the past three decades. “Oh.”

I love science. But it’s a lonely interest these days…

    The first thing I noticed in the article was the picture of the Chinese woman walking in a clouded Beijing with the caption, "Office buildings in Beijing shrouded by pollution haze. Experts say clean air policies, such as those enacted by China, can reduce the number of stillbirths." Obviously those clean air policies enacted by China are not in Beijing. Of course the CCP can enact any pollution policy they want and broadcast how great they are to the world, but it's the actual implementation that does the trick.

    You can get a sensor and shield to measure particulates smaller than 2.5 microns now for about $40. I bought one that I have yet to test to look at particulates from my laser engraver. I'll look at that next summer.

    "Follow the Science," they say. To so many it is a religion. Blind faith, with no understanding. China is burning bituminous coal, spewing out unfiltered smoke, SO2 (forms acid rain) and Hg. Here in the US, we have scrubbers on the stacks to the point that acid rain is not produced, and we burn anthracite which is low sulfur. But the USA is the problem. While China pisses all over the Earth. Follow the Science !!!
