Ha! I have said it forever. Now, scientists have proved it's true. China is reponsible for it's share of global warming. Pollution is a huge problem in China. Meanwhile, the world body blames global warming on us. HA!
I do believe coal burning plants need to go especially those who do not meet the 1965 clean air act requirements. I lived literally two blocks from one of these plants, and let me tell you our air was orange. Not a nice orange either. Plus no matter how much we cleaned, we had to do it all over again in less than 24 hours. And I'm talking washing coal soot off the walls. We were breathing that stuff! Yuck!
