An interesting article from Seed on China's plan's to go green. It seems like
some positive steps are being made, which is quite frankly good news for the entire planet.
(with China passing the US in greenhouse gas emissions this year, its about time!)
On the flipside the chinese may be jumping in rather fast on some of this stuff as this quote from the article illustrates:
For the Olympics, a designated weather modification office will reduce air and ground pollution before the Games by shooting rockets filled with silver iodide into the sky to make rain. Beijing's Science and Technology Department has been experimenting with hormone therapy and crossbreeding to produce flowers that can withstand a Beijing August. "I'm sure that during those three weeks it will be crystal-clear in Beijing," energy analyst Brock says. "They're playing with all sorts of things."
Ah well, at least we're starting to see something...
