Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea.
This came out a couple of days ago but I think it may have some significance. AFAIK, this is the first study to conclude that there is a link between car pollution and asthma. I know it has long been suspected but I believe never statistically linked.

I guess it's good they did this study. If only for the types who refuse to believe anything that hasn't been officially "proven". _________________ My PO Amazon store (shameless plug).

Looks like the asthma rates match up well with the per capita oil use.
To improve mass transit options this is a serious tool. It may not be possible to reach people with the peak oil message since many folks still think that we have plenty oil in the ground.
The prevalence of asthma increased 75% from 1980-1994. Everybody knows someone with lung conditions or has lung conditions themselves.
Has anybody put a package together here to take to local transportation meetings?
