| I'm with the climate people. Moving across the world exposes you to different allergens. Plus this is the land of bird flu (all flu, really) and SARS. Really not the top choice for those with compromised immune systems.
We live in the NT and it isn't as bad as Central. Unless you are from China the pollution here will be worse than wherever you are moving from.
The long-term effects can't be good, but nobody really knows about the short-term. People smoke for 60 years and live until 100; athletes drop dead in their 20s. A lot of it is going to be your genes.
But I do wish they would stop building the coal fired power plants and clean the air. It can be done and is being done all across the West. These guys just don't want to spend the money, which is a terrible reason to pollute the planet. |
