Beijing. Yuk. Fuckers are screwing up the atmosphere for all of us. I remember when L.A. was often a smokey/orange color. As much as some of the regulations strangle business, I generally support most things related to protecting the environment. Too bad we can't infringe our standards on other countries.

Beijing and the surrounding area have been grappling with record-breaking levels of air pollution in recent days. PM2.5 measurements are taken on a scale from 0 to 500. Over the weekend of Jan 12-13, Beijing saw levels over 700.

By Monday, levels had declined to about 350 micrograms on the Beijing government scale -- down from its peak but still way above the level of 25 considered safe by the World Health Organization.

I see the sun through the fog of pollution. Jeezus.

I know right? Except for the position of the sun, you'd think it was dusk or something. Blurg.
