    With 1.3 billion people, if China didn't have measures to curtail population growth, they would soon evolve into a new species of humans, capable of breathing all that pollution.

    Think about it: human evolution on time scales that we can observe. Take that, creationists! #science

    @Roklimber: The product of his own mad science gone awry, this hideous "glow-in-dark" villain loves radioactivity. Able to control his body's radiation, the Duke uses it to intimidate his enemies into submission. Other characters must wear protective suits if they are going to spend a lot of time around him.
    The Duke consumes radiation to make himself more powerful and must "recharge" himself periodically by exposing his body to massive doses of radiation. His long-term plan is to turn the world into a radioactive wasteland where he and his kind will thrive. Until then, he bides his time, hoping to set off a chain reaction here and there - maybe even a nuclear war.

    Environmental refugees are predicted to be the largest group of refugees in a couple of years.
    The question is how many of them will flee their land just to die somewhere else from the damage caused by the pollution? #pollutioninchina

    As tired as I am of hearing Green, this Green that, every other minute it serves a point. Even if you don't ascribe to anthropogenic global warming, we could be living in that mess if a few years if a few greedy multinational conglomerates get there way. #pollutioninchina

    I live in China. Pollution is pretty bad. There's warnings on a nearby lake to not drink the water (even after boiling), not go swimming, and not eat any fish caught in the lake. The government is providing free bottled water for local villagers. Arsenic poisoning in this case, but different kinds of pollution in different areas. #pollutioninchina
