It's not China polluting LA after all

Seems those crazy Californians got the wrong end of the stick from Steve Cliff's atmospheric research atop three west coast mountains. While Cliff said SOME particles from China were found high up in the air, he said local pollution mostly came from, well, local sources. Tankers are to blame for much of the filth. And a high proportion of particulates in the air are sea-salt.
Shame on the US press for jumping on Cliff's work in such a hamfisted way. Especially the New York Times.
