SMAUG

Harbin China has been known, for decades, for it's ice sculptures.  While living there I knew it for negative temperatures and the sea voyage destination for which Joshua ended up with food poisoning . . . another time.  SEVEN millions died from dirty air recently.  30 days without water will cramp us.  3 days without water will parch us.  3 minutes without air will stop us dead in our tracks.  The number one health risk worldwide.  Have you even heard about it?  Think your air is clean?  Think it's someone else's risk?  Think again.  Much of CA smog (I readily recognized it last week on top of Half Dome looking northwest) is now derived from Asia.  Think Progress

Here's a 2 March update on China's smog.
