Heh, me too.
I thought it would happen if everyone would just move out into the woods.
Then I realized that the woods would become cities, and the cities would become the woods.
I was crushed.

It was the first time I realized who the enemy was.
He lives in the mirror.

I think maybe half of that is true.
The sand storms in Beijing are a yearly occurrence and have been forever.
Over grazing by goat farmers have stopped and they are reclaiming the deserts that the damage of overgrazing caused.
Same holds true in the coal mining region in Inner Mongolia that also had overgrazing.
They have been doing the reclamation for years.
Saw a two hour special on that when I was in China. Maybe CBS should watch it.
A different view can be found from Reuters, the one you chose as trusted.
CBS has proven to be biased IMO.

BTW, China is building Nuclear power plants by the hundreds to get off of the coal.
Doubt if CBS will do a story on that.

Confusing post. My point was to show what happens when people have little regard for the environment and you proved the same point with yours so thanks. I think it's a good thing that they are realizing what damage they have caused/causing and have decided to try and improve things.
I would think CBS and other networks would do a story on that as well.
