A new report states that pollution from China is causing smog on the West Coast of the USA.
Now you’ll have to forgive my confusion here but if we take Beijing as the starting point, the distance to The West Coast is 6,266 miles. That’s a long way for pollution to travel on the wind.
It’s farther, for example, than the 5,363 miles the wind has to travel from Fukushima.
Maybe it takes a different route when it’s carrying radiation…
This report makes it obvious that the wind has the ability to carry matter, seen and unseen matter, across oceans and spread it around the globe. This could be viewed as indirect evidence that radiation from Fukushima is indeed present on the West Coast.
From Russia Today:
Pollutants from China’s manufacturing industry are traveling across the Pacific Ocean, contributing to smog in the United States, according to a new study.
Chinese power plants and factories produce enough dirty emissions that pollutants can make it across the Pacific in around six days, exacerbating smog levels on the US West Coast, according to a scientific study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Around one-fifth of the pollution China pumps into the atmosphere comes from the production of cheap goods for export to the United States and other countries, the study suggest.
For example, based on Chinese emissions from export manufacturing, Los Angeles experienced at least one extra day of smog that exceeded federal health standards for the ozone in 2006.
“Rising emissions produced in China are a key reason global emissions of air pollutants have remained at a high level during 2000–2009 even as emissions produced in the United States, Europe, and Japan have decreased,” the study’s leaders wrote. “Outsourcing production to China does not always relieve consumers in the United States – or, for that matter, many countries in the Northern Hemisphere – from the environmental impacts of air pollution.”
The team of scientists – based in the US, China and the UK – used data from 2006 to weigh how much of the air pollution from China that reached the US came from the production of goods ultimately exported to the United States and other countries. Scientists followed the route of pollutants, including sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and black carbon, through the atmosphere to gauge their effects outside China.

Of course the radiation is riding on the wind currents just as the filth from
China is polluting our country. Are you going to allow a bunch of
heathens and scavengers which aren’t worth a plug nickle destroy
your lives and your land. What they have is just property and can
easily be taken as they take from you at their leisure. People better
come down from the clouds and retake what is already yours or
you will all be taking the toxic crumbs from obummercare to try and survive.
Leita,
I agree. And then when it rains or snows this radiation/pollution gets dumped onto the Earth. It’s strange how “they” are trying to kill-off the northeast parts of America (as well as the rest of America), but looking at the snow/rain storms to recently, continually, hit these areas, there is a pattern developing, a pattern of dumping radiation/toxic pollution onto the same area that was devastated by Hurricane Sandy.
