Dale,
It gets worse...
I just read an article yesterday about
all the air pollution coming across the Pacific from China... air pollution and
dust. They burn mostly coal over there, the soil is being turned into
"desert-like" terrain by excessive clearing of land, they produce 40,000,000
TONS of sulfur dioxide a year and other numerous pollutants on a scale that is
hard to imagine... and it all blows over here, especially in the
Spring.
I live in a fairly
pristine area but I have always wondered why the sky sometimes has this high
altitude scrim to it... sometimes white, sometimes a pale yellow... now I know
what it is.
Since almost everything in the
world is now being made in China, I have decided that all I can do as an
individual is stop buying anything that is made there... at least until they cut
back on their pollution, which is not going to happen any time
soon.
