The smog in China is a problem. A huge problem.
Nowadays, pictures of China look like they were taken on a gaseous planet on the outer edge of the Star Wars universe. But the Asian country has a plan to mitigate their devastating problem of air pollution ... or so they think.
as cartoony as it may seem, they are aimed at literally blow their pollution away with giant water cannons. The result is supposed to essentially mimic the effects of a massive inhaler.

However, this approach is becoming more popular in Chinese cities. in addition to Beijing, where this has been implemented, Guigang, Changsha, Zhuzhou and have all the guns purchased to assist with pollution.
This may be just me, but when a country is based on oversized super soakers to allow its citizens to breathe, I think that it is time to take a look at the bigger picture of carbon emissions.
