Then you haven't seen the Jersey coasline--when the fuel tankers pull into the depot.

And people say that the U.S. is bad about pollution.
What can we do about this? Boycott everything "Made In China"?
The political leaders probably turn a blind eye.
I doubt that the U.N. can do anything about it other than economic sanctions, and that really wouldn't work.
If countries like that don't "clean up their act", no matter what the rest of the world does to stop the earth from being poisoned,the damage will continue.
The only thing that comes to my mind is that the officials that allow conditions like that are so greedy that they refuse to put in place preventative measures in even when the technology is available should be put on the street as a beggar in the area where their ecological crimes occur and let them suffer the same fate as they inflict on the general populous.
My rant is done.

The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe.

a lot of those pictures are from industrial Steel factories and raw sewage plants. which seems odd considering the people would almost be better off just living in the sewage instead of the sewage waste from the plants.

Im sure this is way worse then anything that is on the Jersey shore.
I doubt there are villages of babies born with deformities and cancer in Jersey.

I'm sure the US would look like that if big business had its way.

That's the biggest complaint that the underdeveloped countries have. The U.S.A. polluted the air with all the industrial revolutionary advancements we've done in the past so why do we have any rights to say what other countries can (or can't) do?

Some huge atmospheric phenomena that is going to get the attention of everybody is my prediction.

But we have come a long way to being more ecologically sound.
As long as there is industry, there will be some kind of polluting byproduct, but at least we are trying and in a lot of instances succeeding in keeping those pollutants down to a bare minimum.

My sister travels to China for work on occasion. Whenever she comes home it takes her days/weeks to get the feeling on the pollution off of her skin. Her face always breaks out and it affects her hair.

I'm going to send this to her and see what she says about it.

Though, I have heard they are starting to clean it up over there. I don't know how those efforts are working though.

Because that's the past when impact on the environment was as well understood. Also the developing industry you see in underdeveloped countries is much larger than what you saw in Europe and the US during the industrial revolution.
