    This is so moronic. The way they call it “blue skies” as if it was done for aesthetic / PR reasons. Five seconds ago they were moaning about the smog and how china’s killing the planet

      In America, every household is visited by a man named Kyle, who drinks energy drink and punches a hole through the wall which lets the heat out. It is illegal to try and stop him.

      In America, every car is visited by a thumb named Blart, who commits domestic violence and smashes your window to confirm you’re a citizen which lets the heat out. It is illegal to try and stop him.

    I literally spend 5 days a week in a village in Spain without heating and my room is 9°C in winter because the alternative is killing the planet and spending 200€/month in diesel heating, not even fossil gas infrastructure where I live. At least these people have the choice

    A great policy I wish they’d adopt here in Korea.

    Poor South Koreans also use charcoal briquettes to heat their homes. Seoul air looks like Beijing in the winter. It’s gross, a brownish-yellowish-grayish haze

    I was just in Shanghai a week ago, and the air quality was similarly gross, so I guess this was only for Beijing?

    When I was living there, you could taste the air pollution. The 70th anniversary parade was on a day with AQI around 300. You could notice it on the TV broadcast
