Ok, so just about everyone on the planet knows how bad the pollution in China is, and the fact that if they cant get the air quality improved in time for the Games more than half the athletes will not compete.

For anyone who is not up to date on how bad the situation really is, here are some articles to catch up:
- The Australian
- The New York Times
- National Geographic
- The Christian Science Monitor
- The Independent on Sunday

So how are they going to fix it?

And the answer is.....

By bloody shutting down all the factories in and around Beijing. Oh and by "around" Beijing, we're talking about all factories covering a landmass of Spain, France and Germany COMBINED!@!!

Oh, and as a side note, cars are only allowed on the road on the dates ending the same day as their licence plates. In theory this will mean there are only half as many cars on the road during the games, pity that will mean that there will still be a good 300% more cars than the environment can handle.
