Beijing’s “Smog Free Tower” (which is apparently the world’s largest outdoor air purifier) has had its name changed due to underwhelming performance in pollution control, with the tower now being humiliatingly renamed to the “Smog Warning Tower”.
The release of poor scoring performance tests revealed that while the tower does have a functioning filter effect, the overall effect was minimal, and unstable to boot – incapable of even attaining the World Health Organization air standards of PM 2.5 set at 75 micrograms per cubic meter.
The 7 meter tall tower in all its strangely miniature glory:
The cleansing device (designed by Dutch engineer Daan Roosegaarde) was held in high regard years before its actual creation, as it was supposedly meant to create a “bubble” of fresh air around itself by gathering particulate matter and cleanse 30,000 cubic meters of air per hour – though unfortunately the tower was akin to turning on an air conditioner outside in regards to power and utility alike, and barely makes for an interesting objet d’art either…

Whaat a straange naame thiis guuy haave
That’s it? It just sits there? Would be more awesome if it transformed into a smog-fighting giant robot.
Super Fighting Robot…!
…Smogaman!
The whole concept sounded like bullshit to me, good to know I was right.
This is like the Monolith in Space Odyssey 2001 but instead of apes you have Chinese people surrounding it. :p
Yet this country will be leading the world in fighting climate change thanks to climate change denier Trump. Was SJWs getting BTFO worth it?
Because the people voting for Trump had nothing to do with it, right?
well at least nobody’s blaming the jews this time right?
Wait till trump finds out how many jews are still in finance and he’ll grow a gasmask ‘stache.
Muslims will do it immediately, if they read this.
Give it time.
china leads the world in pollution. you can’t fight “climate change” without first eradicating all of china’s factories and that’ll never happen. you’re an idiot.
