china is about the same point in the evolution of the understanding of their part of polution as we, the us, were in the 1960's or about. with luck, by seeing what is happening with america, they will not take 30 to 35 years or so to reach were we are now. If the us can find a better way (finacially) to do things more green, then they will copy it.

acutally polution has a half life, different types have different lengths. some forms of polution disappear in about 5 years, while nuclear polution can last thousands. so no its really not cumlative. It will build to a certain point, then the older stuff of that type will disappear. unfortuantely, some of it will take many decades to reach that level. IF in the meantime, a better way of doing things is found then the level will stop growing until that half life is reached. We can hope that that time will come soon, or we can do what we can to hasten it, and we can do our part to lower the amount of polution that is created. unless you live in china, i dont think there is much you can do about them.


the more man learns, the more he realises, he really does not know anything.
