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.
