Greenpeace actually said that "The Chinese government’s 'war on pollution' has led to a significant improvement in air quality" [1]. Which is actually true. Believe it or not. 1- https://energydesk.greenpeace.

130 - 170 AQI is kind of typical. With <50 levels sprinkled throughout the year. A couple dozen days a year it gets really bad, worse than this current streak.

First of all, welcome to the Jing! Not sure what Leipzig was like in 86, but if you don't find it objectionable here this week, man, you have iron lungs and a high tolerance for smoke-smelling dusty stuff. :) On a serious note, the new

I live in Beijing and the pollution here is pretty bad at many points during the year (the current streak is not even close to the worse I've seen here). But I'm always amazed by how much emphasis is placed on China in this regard

In some sense, France already does this type of thing in Africa. Most recently in Mali. Not sure in which way Syria would be significantly different. Also, Russia is being pulled even more into Syria. So a truly international force may mate

I made the switch from Researcher to RSDE and I'm not sure what you're talking about. There are plenty of Principal RSDEs and some become Managers of technical leaders of teams, which sometimes even include researchers. But of cou

The family doesn't need access to the account. It can still be "memorialized". Facebook could very well deal with a list of images to remove and the reason for it. In this case, the reason is cristal clear.

You seem to forget that, for example, many of those immigrants supported slavery and brought in many immigrants from Africa. Or that Texas was once part of Mexico and a bunch of illegal immigrants from the U.S. there declared its independen
