Quote:I spent the beginning of the year in Korea.  The pollution from China was literally breathtaking.  Some mornings when I took my first breath outside, it would send me into coughing fits.  There is a constant yellow haze that hangs over the peninsula from Chinese factories churning out unchecked amounts of pollution.  People who have been exposed to only the relatively clean air of the Untied States, and other developed western countries, understandably express cynicism about environmental protection.  If they could witness the unfettered environmental fouling in Asia and the Indian subcontinent, they would be appalled.
