China’s autumnal skies have been hailed as fit for an “SF dystopia,” with daytime visibility down to 10m and still no improvement evident from earlier in the year despite the government’s promises – amidst rising concern from Japan that pollution forecasts are to become a regular feature on their own weather reports as a result.
The prospect of regular clouds of “PM2.5” particulates drifting over Japan and poisoning those with vulnerable respiratory systems has been the subject of much polite concern in the Japanese media, and some far less polite concern online…
I wonder if they get higher frame rates at the expense of their low draw distance
Reminds me of The Fifth Element after the flying car chase.
lol we had such fog here in south germany too last year (no smog only regular weather)
wasn’t funny to drive throu it, where like 30 km/h on the highway (normaly 100 – 150 even with my crappy car)
No kidding. We get some crazy fog around the Bay sometimes. Trying to cross a bridge at night when you can’t see the light from the lamppost *directly above you*? Almost wanted to take a hard left just to be certain I would die.
I really feel it’s partially the fault of the USA outsourcing manufacturing to places without environmental protection laws. Without worries about dumping toxic sludge, companies keep prices low and profits high.
what amazes me the most is that there’s still life in china.
