South Korea has joined the band wagon of countries that say pollution in China is affecting the air quality of their country. This comes soon after the US National Academy of Sciences blamed L.A.’s worsening air quality on pollution from China.
The Korean Ministry of Environment recently released the news that South Korea ranked 166 in terms of air quality, out of 178 countries. China ranked 176. However, 2 years ago, an assessment of countries by the World Economic Forum ranked South Korea 46 in terms of air quality. Unsurprisingly South Korea is blaming this 2 year downward spiral on China’s worsening pollution levels.

Blame China? How dare they! Let's try to blame America instead... somehow. Actually, air pollution is an interesting one. Hard to point fingers at others now, eh China? Backed into a corner, are we? Watch the cat bob and weave as it avoids taking responsibility, let alone action! Funny how it required tiny microscopic particles to force China to admit responsibility like a big adult.
