If This is the Future…

I keep hearing reports about China being the future.  There are many reasons that sends chills to my very core, but chief among them is the pollution.  It’s brutal.  I am attaching two photos below.  One is a comparison picture taken from my balcony and the other is on my way to school.  Now, the smog is particularly bad today but I have to say that it’s rarely like the blue sky shot.  But what the photos don’t capture is the smell.  It’s really like living in an exhaust pipe.  I simply don’t know how people manage in this yuck…
