Anti-Globalism writes "From 500 miles in space, satellites track brown clouds of dust, soot and other toxic pollutants from China and elsewhere in Asia as they stream across the Pacific and take dead aim at the western U.S.

By some estimates more than 10 billion pounds of airborne pollutants from Asia ranging from soot to mercury to carbon dioxide to ozone reach the U.S. annually. The problem is only expected to worsen: Some Chinese officials have warned that pollution in their country could quadruple in the next 15 years."
