Wake up and smell the pollution

This was the view from my hotel in Ningbo this morning. I don't have any idea how we are going to make any impact against global warming with China spewing out pollution like it is. And this is a developed area. This is not being caused by some unsanctioned coal fired powerplant up in the hills which some estimates claim are starting weekly.

As a parent you confront sitations like this with a sense of helplessness... I hope my kids will live in a world where there are still polar bears.
