Cheer Up, America. At Least You Can Breathe

From Jim Fallows, in Beijing:

Pollution in Beijing itself has been as bad as the very worst I remember from the olden era. The view below (11am China time, Feb 23) has been more or less unvarying for the past four days. PM2.5 readings through that period have been steadily in the “hazardous” or “beyond index” category. I don’t recall a stretch this bad, this long, before.

Oh, I don't know. This could be an American city like Philly or Atlanta in 50 years' time if this right wing path we're on doesn't change. The environment is on the chopping block here.
