#1 about 750,000 people die prematurely in China each year, mainly from air pollution in large cities.

That's what, some 250 9-11 sized death tolls every year and no one gives a rat's patootie? What's more, China is somehow granted the moral authority to excise such 'inflammatory' language from a World Bank report.

Someone desperately needs to thrust a stick into the spokes of Beijing's summer Olympics. It needs to become the same sort of PR disaster that the Soviet Olympics were.

#3 Canadian authorities just noticed they're getting contaminated toothpaste from China, too. Clearly inspections -- and hence rejections -- of Chinese products are increasing. Betcha the amount of pollution starts going down soon.

#4 Beats 15 million dying each year of hunger.

These are just "upstream" numbers. Wait until you see the downstream numbers resulting from massive environmental poisoning, food chain collapse, forced abortions, tainted foods. Then add in all the people overseas being killed by China's export trash. Hell, I'd even throw in all the homeless people who are out of work because China sucked out this world's industrial base. If anything, they'll recover your sort of numbers when the Three Gorges dam breaches.

#5 It is a health issue. You could concntrat on helping the Chinese with these things instead of wasting all your energy on "global warming" or cooling, or whatever you think it is this year.
