well, there is no problem if you don't mind nearly a billion people starving, dehydrating, and spreading disease to the rest of the planet. Water and sanitation conditions make China a kind of germ jar. Bird flu sux, I wonder what fabulous disease will come outta there next. Ya also gotta wonder how bad will it get before the people there say fuck this and take the resources they need by force. Imagine a million or so plague carriers invading ye olde USSR, India and other neighbors, contaminating their people and food supplies creating a lovely domino effect. When the doomsayers talk about world wide pandemics they are pointing at China yo.

Bush's allows the Navy to override a January 3 injunction issued by a US District Court in California requiring it to "monitor for and avoid marine mammals while operating high-intensity, mid-frequency sonar during ... naval exercises." Bush's exemption has drawn strong criticism from animal groups who have been fighting for the injunction. "There is absolutely no justification for this," said California Coastal Commissioner Sara Wan. "Both the court and the Coastal Commission have said that the Navy can carry out its mission as well as protect the whales. This is a slap in the face to Californians who care about the oceans," she added. The injunction Bush has waived required the Navy to maintain a 12 nautical mile (22 kilometers) no-sonar buffer zone along the California coastline, and to shut down sonar when marine mammals were spotted within 2,000 meters (yards). Natural Resources Defense Council director Joel Reynolds said in a statement his group would soon appeal Bush's exemption, which he called "an attack on the rule of law." http://www.terradaily.com/reports/US_navy_sonar_takes_precedence_over_whales_Bush_999.html sorry but this really does seem like a slap to Cali. Its a cat fight now

China's farms struggle to meet growing demand Urbanisation and the creeping desert in the north mean that China is losing 25 million acres (10m hectares) of farmland a year. As one analyst put it, a country larger than the United States will be created by new urban Chinese by 2020. Already, the country has to import most of its needs. China's top water issues China’s Imminent Water Crisis In terms of the economy and China’s anticipated explosion of growth, this outcome may be seriously influenced and hindered by the scarcity of the resource. In northern China, a region that produces 45 percent of the country’s economic output and is home to 40 percent of its population, the annual renewable per capita water supply falls 50 percent below the United Nations-defined danger threshold for minimum social and economic stability. Pollution is another huge problem contributing to the larger crisis at hand. Over half of China’s population, about 700 million people and 11 percent of the world’s, only have access to drinking water of a quality below World Health Organization standards (WHO). The water is contaminated by a combination of industrial pollution and human and animal waste. The lack of clean water for animals creates the threat of disease as livestock take in all types of pollutants and microbes. Disease is likely to pass from poultry to pigs to humans, and ultimately, the threat of Avian Bird Flu and similar diseases becomes very grave. WHO warns of the high risk of a global pandemic that is not a question of if but of when. In late July of 2004, a mysterious black and brown plume of toxic matter over 80 miles long swept along the Huai River, one of China’s seven major rivers, and killed millions of fish and devastated wildlife. There were differing explanations for the disaster, the two leading reasons being that either too much water had been taken from the river system and the Huai River had lost its ability to clean itself, or that numerous factories had dumped untreated waste directly into the water and the levels of toxicity had accumulated to an critical point. According to SEPA, more than 70 percent of China’s lakes and five of China’s seven largest river systems are polluted enough to be unsuitable for human contact. fuckin crazy shit >.<

WASHINGTON -- Chairman Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) of the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming will question members of the Bush Administration regarding the delay of a decision to list polar bears under the Endangered Species Act until after a controversial lease sale for oil drilling off of Alaska. The hearing will also feature experts on wildlife protection and oil drilling. Earlier this week, the Interior Department announced it would miss the statutory deadline to reach a decision on listing the polar bear under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), saying it would take up to a month more to reach the decision. That would put the listing decision one day after the sale of oil drilling rights in Alaska’s Chukchi Sea, scheduled for February 6th. The Chukchi Sea is a sensitive polar bear habitat. In the most thorough study to date, the Interior Department determined that under current trends, disappearing sea ice would result in a two-thirds drop in the world population of polar bears resulting in the disappearance of polar bears from Alaska by 2050. http://www.globalwarming.house.gov/mediacenter/pressreleases?id=0154

the hybrid is a step in the right direction, now they just need to eliminate the need to plug it into the grid AND lower the cost so the average Joe can afford it. Its so fucking stupid greener products cost more then standard polluting crap. How the hell is that any way to change things? It should be the reverse
