For an introduction to the problem, and to anyone who hasn't lived in a severely air polluted city, I highly recommend the documentary Under the Dome , released earlier this year and later banned in China: [VIDEO]

I still remember 2001 when I first arrived at Hongkong to work. My first day at the office, I got teary eyed. I told my boss why is it so..he told me it's because of the pollution and I should drink lots of water. It is probably way lot worse now. I saw this documentary recently, [VIDEO] it is a good watch. FYI China is also destroying marine life in the West Philippine Sea [LINK] [LINK]

China? Pertinent parallels with this part of Chai Jing's censored talk "Under the Dome"[1] (worth watching the whole thing actually). [1] [VIDEO]

Is it in response to that viral video [1] on air pollution that got banned a couple of weeks ago? Nice move. [1] [VIDEO]
