The Green Party 1% types live in a fantasy world of utopian energy policy, while China, which has been polluting the earth, takes a turn toward the rational simply because it must to save itself. Meanwhile, we put up with Josh Fox, who is little more than a science fiction character.

Way before environmentalists started worrying about CO2 (“Hot Air” is the term carbon traders used to refer to CO2 by the way, hence the name of my blog), literally everyone worried about the far more unclear and present danger, air pollution.

That was the case in the great smogs of London, created by coal pollution. An idea of how horrendous they were comes from reports of the London Smog Disaster of December 1952, so thick that performances in theaters were cancelled, not out of health concerns, but simply because no one past the sixth row could see the stage. I was born in London in August,1953 by the way. Do the math.
