China might go headlong back to the 80's where everyone rode Bikes to work.

Well, I guess the good news from this is if we ever go to war, we know how to paralyze their shipping.

Just think, China has a population of around 1.8 billion people in an area of 9,598,094 km squared. Thats 2000 people per square kilometer. Considering that roads are linear, if everyone has a car, the country is little more than a large parking lot. Considering you can now buy cheap shitty cars here for about 5 grand there are tens of thousands of cars added to the roads each day.

You thought that China was polluting badly when it was creating less pollution per capital than americans. They are starting to become as wasteful and consuming as us and it will have a severely bad impact on the world. At that point in time nobody with half a brain or even a single functioning brain cell will be able to argue that humans are incapable of effecting the worlds environment on a global scale.

High-speed rail in China - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

this is also the reason they plan to build 700km of subway in Beijing by 2015, somewere around 500 in Shanghai hell there will be a couple thousand km of subway built in China by 2015 and almost 20,000 km of high-speed trains plus an additional couple thousand more of conventional railway and more high alt lines running into napel and india.

I think you rounded up about half a billion people. Though you do make a good point regardless.
