I just heard on the news I forget where exactly as I was only half listening until I heard this...

the pollution is China is really bad right now, they showed what I think was a beach and you could hardly see anything.

They were saying the Chinese Govt was thinking about banning 90% of the cars and shutting down some of the manufacturing factories...

I couldnt believe when they said banning 90% of the cars though.
 
this has been going on for a while in preparation for the olympic games. They think that the smog will effect the athletes' performance. They are also cracking down on any food place. For example, if you are registered as a noodle restraraunt, you are not allowed to serve salad as an appetizer. No roof top establishments are allowed after a certain time in fear of dropping bottles on people below, and nightclubs are being strictly monitored for closing time and noise pollution
 
they are cutting it kind of close arent they? or are they just going to stop everything at once and get some big industrial fans to blow the smog away...

also will this be until the games are over then everything is back in full production or a more permanent thing?
 
i heard they were also taking certain items off of the menus there that westerners might find offensive and inhumane.. i heard the same thing about the vehicle ban..
 
my understanding is the same as davids, it's just for the olymipic games for preformance aswell as enjoyment for fans coming to watch the games.

if what you thought was true- gas prices would drop dramatically if we drilled in alaska. But it's not so don't get excited.
 
from my understanding all these people are now being diverted to use mass transit trains, subways, etc. and it's going crazy over there because of the mass influx of people useing these modes of transport.
 
Why exactly did they choose China for the Olympics? Who is the idiot that failed to take these things into account? The athletes won't know if they won a race or not, they won't be able to see through the smog. This is just stupid. It's also stupid that China is grinding it's economy to a halt to support a contest that in reality doesn't matter. Sounds like a lose-lose situation.
