Remember Americans, only YOU can prevent global warming! So be sure to recycle religiously, cram yourself into the smallest possible bicycle-powered car you can, use only one square of toilet paper, and change all your light bulbs to those crummy dull ones with a nice dab of mercury in the center.
China needs your help and hopes you are all just that stupid. Here's some China news by the numbers:
China knows all Americans with correct and compassionate thoughts will be glad to sacrifice for them.30: Number of nuclear power plants being built in China500: The number of coal-fired power plants China plans to build in the next decade
97: New airports to be built in the next 12 years, bringing the total number to 244 by 2020
160: Cities in China with populations that exceed a million. In the USA there are nine; in the UK just two
0: Miles of motorway in 1988
30,000: Miles of motorway today
6.3 million: The number of passenger cars registered in 2007 (compared with 2.3 million in 2004). More than 1,000 new private cars hit the roads every day in Beijing alone.
