Shanghai’s Unbelievable Pollution Problem Started The Week Badly, Ended Worse

For the seventh day this month, Shanghai officials have warned children and the elderly to stay inside in a city where 24 hours exposed to the off-the-charts pollution would have hazardous consequences to one’s health. Hundreds of flights and sporting events have been cancelled, while face masks and air purifiers sold out in stores. All week, the pollution level hovered at “heavily” and “severely” polluted, according to Shanghai’s Air Quality Index, at up to 31 times the recommended levels.

Coal, oil and low regulations are killing china.

This is how America would look like without regulations and the epa.

Think hard before you oppose them.

Coal, oil and low regulations are killing china.

Hydrocarbons built China, and every other industrialized nation on earth.

Agriculture is killing this planet, not hydrocarbons.

 

[ScienceRocks]

1.Agriculture built civilization
2. agriculture is needed to feed this world
3. We don't need fossil fuels to power our homes. There is other means like nuclear, hydro, solar and wind

 

[Kosh]

The environmentalists are against much on your list.

The far left caters to these groups.

And promoting something like nuclear that has a by product that has a half life of 5000 years does not make the case for the AGW church members.

Modern day agriculture would not exist were it not for hydrocarbons.

I am for regulated fossil fuels and Obama is too

Just rather move them from 80 to 50% of the mix.

That isn't exactly against fossil fuels...Maybe we could go to 40% natural gas, 10% coal, 20% nuclear, 10% hydro, 10% wind, 10% solar here in America

Maybe aim more like 80% oil for transportation. 20% electric or hydrogen cars....

A mixture that gets us totally off of imports is a good idea.

The more power we can make here in America = less we have to import.

Chinese urban planning for Shanghai...

China caps Shanghai's population at 25 million to prevent 'big city disease'
Dec. 27, 2017 -- The Chinese government announced this week that it will cap the population of Shanghai at 25 million by 2035 to prevent the country's largest city from catching "big city disease."

The government defined the "disease" as when a megacity has too much pollution, traffic and s shortage of public services like education and medical care. The State Council said that by 2035, the number of permanent residents in Shanghai will be limited to 25 million people and total construction land will be no more than 3,200 square kilometers, according to Xinhua. The plan is to make Shanghai an "excellent global city," the State Council said.

Shanghai would become the second city to receive a cap on its population. In September, the Chinese government announced Beijing's population will cap at 23 million by 2020. Beijing's current population is about 22 million. Although the Chinese government appears to have been able to curb population growth in Beijing largely by cracking down on migrant workers, some experts don't believe a 25 million cap in Shanghai will be possible.

Chinese workers and pensioners in Shanghai stand outside a government office after not being paid on time on January 31, 2015. This week, the Chinese government announced it would cap Shanghai's population at 25 million to avoid strains on social services.​

However, some experts don't believe it's possible for Shanghai to cap at 25 million by 2030 since official population number is already at 24.19 million, with unofficial estimates putting it closer to 30 million. The population control effort could also impact the city's thriving economy. "It will be a very difficult target to achieve if Shanghai continues to position itself as this center for various sectors - a financial hub, an innovation hub," Lu Jiehua, a sociology professor at Peking University, told the South China Morning Post.

Chen Youhua, a sociology professor at Nanjing University, told SCMP a 25 million cap would be "pointless." "Curbing the population is unimaginable, and it's also detrimental ... It will ruin a city's development prospects, even in Shanghai," Chen said. "Controlling the population in cities such as Beijing and Shanghai is more of a political decision."

The People's Republic of China is the pinnacle of a state where government controls absolutely everything.

If government control is the key to a clean environment then why are Communist countries such environmental nightmares?

 

[skookerasbil]

lol.......a lot of dummies on this thread. Unicorn chasers.........meanwhile, China is upping production of coal by...........ready for this..........50% by 2050!! And these dummies want folks in the US to be ok with having their electric bills doubled to save the planet.
