We had a strong haze this past week. The only times we have this is when there are fires in the Yukon or in BC. Meteorologists traced it back to China.

It was strong here in S.E. Ak. You couldn't even see the mountains on the Chilkat Peninsula to the West.

The federal agency reported the haze was fallout from soot pumped out of Chinese smokestacks only to climb into the upper atmosphere, spin around over the North Pacific Ocean, and finally drop back down over Anchorage and the Cook Inlet region.
"Meteorologists and researchers have the ability to 'rewind' the path to see where (the pollution) starts," the agency reported on its Facebook page. "In our case today, that 'launch' was well over 5,000 miles away and from 14 days ago."

The smog that covers the majority of Chinese cities, including its capital, Beijing, has become so thick it is impeding photosynthesis, potentially disrupting China’s food supply. According to an associate professor at China Agricultural University, He Dongxian, if air pollution continues, China will experience something akin to a “nuclear winter.”
According to the country’s vice-minister of the Chinese Environmental Protection Ministry, Wu Xiaoqing, 71 out of 74 cities monitored in China over 2013 did not meet state environmental standards with various degrees of problems.
