The article is looking at climate change in China: "the country is now home to the world's worst environmental problems, extending far beyond the polluted air. And it is totally unprepared to combat them."
The effects are truly horrific to read. There is some hope; "an organized environmental movement is already developing, providing a structure to some of this anger. While Beijing has cracked down hard on evangelical churches, Falun Gong, the China Democracy Party and unofficial labor unions because it views these groups as explicitly political, it has allowed green organizations to flourish, though most environmental groups remain small."
