China "Fixes" Pollution Problem... By Raising Danger Threshold

"As the smog that has choked Shanghai for much of the last week reached hazardous levels, the city’s environmental authority took decisive action to address the frequent air-quality alerts: It adjusted standards downward to ensure that there won’t be so many."
"It will now issue alerts only when the concentration of the most dangerous particulates in the city’s air, known as PM2.5 (particulates smaller than 2.5 micometers in diameter) reach 115 micrograms per cubic meter. The previous standard was 75 micrograms per cubic meter. (The World Health Organization recommends not exceeding 25 micrograms per cubic meter in a 24-hour period.)"
“The bureau said it believes the original standard is too strict, given that haze is common in the Yangtze River Delta region in winter.”
Interesting. He did rather well in 2008 too, perhaps indicating he is also capable of producing a negative forecast when it is called for. He is still upbeat for 2014 and predicts the Fed will cut bond purchases in January. Somewhere I read he was one of the few who correctly predicted the Fed would not taper in September.aedens wrote:http://www.ihs.com/info/ecc/a/economic- ... -2013.aspx This guy did rather well.
