    Wonder if it's possible to do an apples-and-apples comparison of that with the various killer smogs of the early-mid 20th century? (eg this and the similar ones linked at the bottom.) With the London one there's the whole fog issue, whereas Beijing's got the dust.

    The damage being done to China by its modern-era repeat of the worst excesses of the Industrial age would be fascinating, if it wasn't so god damned horrifying. Sewage in the soy sauce, choking smog, cities vanishing in the dust storms of rapid desertification, empty towers being built that will never be inhabited... it's like some fever dream. Or nightmare.
