Answer 1

**I think it looks terrible and can't imagine how bad it must be for the health of people who live there.  It's really sad to because on a clear day in Beijing the city actually looks nice but you can't see it most of the time because of the haze.

There seems to be such a big deal made about climate change etc in Australia but if they look at Beijing they've got nothing to worry about.**

Answer 2

The human rights violations in China are far worse than the air pollution.

Answer 3

Drama queen. If pollution is that big of a deal, why not hold the Olympics in Antarctica?

Answer 4
