Britain’s Extreme Air Pollution Cover-Up Blown! (…By the Wind): A Timelapse

March 9, 2010 - 2:47 pm 22 Comments

Why do environmental organizations blame the public for pollution and climate change yet never mention the real culprits behind Britain’s strange weather? The reason it’s overcast all the time, and you’re probably feeling run down, is because of aircraft emissions, which, for the first time in my life, are not only being produced in atmospheric conditions unfavourable for condensation trail formation (in other words: THEY ARE NOT CONDENSATION TRAILS!), but they are persisting and spreading to destroy a blue sky in minutes.
If you are new to the subject, please watch Don’t Talk About the Weather on my channel – there’s a playlist I’ve set up: watch from 1A. People aware of this subject need your help. We all need clean air (and food and water) or the game’s over, and it’s obvious that the planes’ systematic and daily SPRAYING of our skies is polluting the very air which we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink. Simply put, and in closing, please watch Don’t Talk About the Weather so that you may distinguish between fact and fiction.

Air Pollution Himeji, JPN

February 19, 2010 - 6:16 pm No Comments

It is ironic and sad that even after hosting and signing the Kyoto Protocol (Dec 1997) and the CQ3 in Denmark (Dec 2009) that unregulated outdoor burning of trash continues in Japan. The purpose of this site, by the Himeji Clean Air Society, is to focus attention on Himeji-City in Japan and the district of Senba where we reside. Of the hundreds of outdoor burn sites around HImeji, the Ichiban worst air polluter in our district of Senba is the Senbahontokuji (Shonen) Buddhist Temple. Video and photos dating from Dec 2008 to 2010 documents the public health and environmental hazard of this Temple.
People all over densely populated Japan must daily endure some private individual, business or farmer burning garbage out doors! The practice of outdoor burning needs to stop

China Air Pollution – Hong Kong

December 17, 2009 - 7:28 pm 25 Comments

Air pollution is becoming a major problem in China. China has been creating a lot air pollutants affecting its neighbouring countries. Hong Kong which has not much industrial activities has been affected very badly by the pollution created in China. Smog becomes very common during winter as the wind carries a lot of pollutants, including nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxided, carbon monoxide, and ozone from the north (China).

The short film was taken at around 8 am on May 7 2007 which was a Monday morning. There had been virtually no activities going on in Hong Kong but still pollutants were blown from Mainland China to Hong Kong.

The major cause of pollution in Guangdong is believed to be power generation. The Mainland Chinese Communist government has been unable to control power generation by illegal power plants using low quality coal probably without any filtering. The Mainland Chinese Communist government has said repeatedly that it will reduce pollution; however, there is strong evidence that air pollution is increasing rather than reducing! Hong Kong is the victim of Mainland China’s economic growth.
