I remember being in Los Angeles for the Olympics where the same predictions were made. Didn't happen. A lot of remedial actions cleared the air in time. I'll bet 10 that Beijing will be the same. (I won't bet on the heat though.)

I remember Mexico City also as a horror for air pollution. But anyone who has been there during a 4 day holiday weekend will see the difference that shutting down cement plants and other factories will do.

And remember the attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. Oops, they've never had the Olympics. Forget that example.

Beijing has already shut down the cement factories. They'll handle the problem.

Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.

I am still skeptical.  But let's hope so.

Seems to have gotten better between yesterday and today.

Cynicism is intellectual treason.
