Beijings airpocalypase- city on the verge of being uninhabitable
[link to www.msn.com]


Beijing’s air quality has long been a cause of concern, but the effects of its extreme levels of pollution on daily life can now be seen in physical changes to the architecture of the city. Buildings and spaces are being reconfigured and daily routines modified to allow normal life to go on beneath the toxic shroud.

Paper face masks have been common here for a long time, but now the heavy-duty kind with purifying canister filters – of the sort you might wear for a day of asbestos removal – are frequently seen on the streets. On bad days, bike lanes are completely deserted, as people stay at home or retreat to the conditioned environments of hermetically-sealed malls. It’s as if the 21-million-strong population of the Chinese capital is engaged in a mass city-wide rehearsal for life on an inhospitable planet. Only it’s not a rehearsal: the poisonous atmosphere is already here.



Maybe the reason for all the ghost cities, it would seem several large cities will be uninhabitable within 10 years.

Denial is the last stand.


And yet denial still persists. Many Beijingers tend to use the word “wumai” (meaning fog), rather than “wuran” (pollution), to describe the poor air quality – and not just because it’s the official Newspeak of weather reports. It’s partly because, one local tells me, “if we had to face up to how much we’re destroying the environment and our bodies every day, it would just be too much.” A recent report by researchers in Shanghai described Beijing’s atmosphere as almost “uninhabitable for human beings” – not really something you want to be reminded of every day

According to CCTV, there are currently 28 nuclear power plants under construction in China, compared to the 20 plants that are operational at the moment. Beijing plans to have China’s nuclear-generating capacity rise to 88 gigawatts by 2020, representing nearly a 80 percent increase from current capacity. By 2050, China hopes to have 400-500 giagwatts of nuclear capacity – 100 times more than it has now.

China is deadly polluted and ca. 1,500 Million Deaths are expected
because of their Problems.

There are so many cars! Traffic standstills all the time in Beijing. You have to plan all activities around the time of day, but it still seems like "rush hour" happens all day and all night. There is plenty of public transportation available, and buses are crowded, but there are still thousands of cars on the streets.

Beijing is about to add another airport.

China gives the nod for a second giant Beijing airport

[link to www.csmonitor.com]

"......... the $13 billion Daxing facility will be south of the capital and sport four runways. Local farmers are not happy about the prospect of relocation to make way for the facility, which is being announced just six years after the completion of what was the largest terminal in the world."

Good to see those polluting farmers getting moved away from the city.

Good point. Water is the byproduct of hydrocarbon combustion.

Those cars that supposedly run on water are actually running on the aluminum cans they put in with the water. The aluminum gets oxidized (burned,) freeing up the hydrogen to run the engine.

The energy it took to refine that aluminum greatly exceeds the energy returned to run the engine.

No such thing. If it was at all possible, the Universe would have incorporated it into Nature from the get go. It didn't - the only sustainable source of new energy comes from the sun, and Nature uses that to the ultimate efficiency. It would not have done so if there were other sources of energy which are infinite.
