Mother nature spitting in our face

Recently in the Chinese city of Beijing, smog levels rose so high to a point where the sunrise could not be seen. Maybe mother nature is trying to tell us something. Well guess what mother nature! We can still televise a sunrise! The glow of all those mega pixels is really helping me wake up. Not.

To make matters even worse, people casually wore industrial strength face masks in response to the government's severe air warning. This is so bad that children and the elderly have been advised to stay inside. So kids can't even play in the smog without risking breathing problems. Awesome.

People even reported they could not see buildings on the other side of the street because of the smog! The U.S. embassy in Beijing reported that day levels of pollution in the air so high that they were literally off the charts. Of course United States, telling China its air quality sucks in its capitol will definitely help improve foreign relations. Great idea.

Levels of pollution have even been reported to be on the rise in the United States! Experts recognize the heavy dependency on coal to generate electricity as the cause of the increase in carbon dioxide emissions. Here's a resolution! What if we all abandon generating electricity with fossil fuels and other methods and instead cover the entire nation with solar panels? Oh wait, there's no way our country can afford solar panels with a 16 trillion dollar debt.

Honestly thinking of the cause of this effect is disappointing. In some cases, nature can fix the many injuries we inflict upon nature constantly. Like recently I wrote about an article that described how an oil spill in a river in Virginia will naturally decay in a matter of weeks because of reactions with all of the other forms of matter surrounding the river. Nature can't even help us out of this issue with air pollution! It has to block out the sun for us to finally realize we're doing something wrong! Just wait until it blocks out the sun completely, and then we'll have the same experience as the dinosaurs.
