neutron_p writes "Based on satellite observations, the high-resolution global atmospheric map of nitrogen dioxide pollution makes clear just how human activities impact air quality. I'm a bit surprised not to see that many red blobs above US and the strange one is on the east of Russia."

    writing a site like this in perl is retarded.

    on a related note, php and mysql are also inappropriate for anything but 'hello, world!' webapps. thanks. bye.

    the rest of the world pollutes far more than the US nowdays and they don't really care that Johnny Q Hippy dosn't like it. They'll happily continue strip mining and using mercery to strip out copper from ore while they eat a tiger mcmuffin. All the eco freaks do is help ensure the US can't compete as well in the global market.

    Plenty of whack jobs who would use any chance they would get to incite terror in the USA.

    And the USA made war on another country recently..

    Too bad somebody with such a low UID is also a troll.

    while you are right about the coal fire in china you are greatly mistaken with the rest of your post.

    The US emits in total more than 10 times the CO2 than china does.
