Comments on: The Green Leap Forward http://www.thehumanaught.com/blog/general/the-green-leap-forward/ by Ryan McLaughlin ~ The Humanaught Fri, 19 Mar 2010 17:48:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Comrade http://www.thehumanaught.com/blog/general/the-green-leap-forward/#comment-23961 Comrade Mon, 17 Sep 2007 22:47:55 +0000 http://www.thehumanaught.com/blog/2007/03/29/the-green-leap-forward/#comment-23961 I think a good, if not terribly scientific, gauge for measuring the pollution index is whether you can sleep with the window open and not hock lugies the next day. Personally, I can see all kinds of things when I look outside my window. (Well, actually, it's raining today, so visibility isn't at normal depths). But, what's most important to me is that when I look up, I can often see, if not true blue, at least a blue hue backdrop to a flying kite. Try doing that in Qingdao... without the cloud dispersal chemicals. Thanks for your site! It's a doozie!

I'll have to share it with the wife. She was born and raised in Jiangyin. I agree with you about China's need to do something soon. The stronger it becomes economically and the more visible the country becomes the more critics that it'll have. That’s pretty good news. I’ll have to share it with the wife.

Though there's no shortage of man-made sky obscurers, it has just as much to do with the natural humidity levels in the area.
