Air Quality Index (AQI) rooftop sensors on top of the US Embassy in Beijing provided genuine data on the massive extent of air pollution in China where the 2008 Olympics were held. This is Trumpf censoring any info or discussion about the environmental degradation that the wealthy are creating with their global factories. Link: www.science.org

Is there any point to this behavior beyond Trump/MAGA nastiness?

Hi Zed. This is just SOP for America's Godzilla, who is intent on destroying the quality of life for the masses. To hell with air or water pollution monitoring and regulation, they cut into profits. Who cares if the atmosphere and the oceans are choking with grime and smog?

Is there really any point to anything Trump does except that? With Trump everything is personal, everything is about his ego.
