Under the Dome

For some reason the English subtitles disappear from the embedded video; so unless you're fluent in Chinese, you may have to watch it on YouTube instead by clicking here.

 

Under the Dome stayed online in China for about a week during which time it was viewed more than one hundred million times. And then, without any explanation, the authorities scrubbed it from the Chinese internet.

We are fortunate not to live in a dictatorship and are allowed to view this documentary, complete with English subtitles. It should be required viewing because pollution knows no borders and whatever China dumps into the air and ocean will catch up with us eventually, despite all our own efforts and self-imposed costs to clean up our own environment.

Without China cleaning up its act, our efforts may all be for naught. What's "How dare you!" in Chinese? Maybe Greta should learn Chinese!
