China's pollution problems

http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-27027876

China has the world's highest rate of pollution in the world and it has become so commonplace that the amount of pollution has become to effect world wide weather pattern. It was recently discovered that China's pollution (along with pollution from the rest of Asia) blows out over the Northern Pacific ocean, where the pollution particles gather and cause clouds to grow more dense, leading both to a higher rate of precipitation and more violent storms at sea. And it also affects the Winter weather on the "downstream track" which leads straight through North America. Pollution is a big problem in our world, and in a social lens, we see how people from both China and countries like the US have to work together to solve global issues. Even in China alone, the people have developed a growing attention to the pollution that has become even more of a problem in the past few years than ever before.
