Unreliable pollution reports
There’s a growing concern about the seemingly inaccurate
environmental data produced by some Chinese officials. According to
Xinhua news agency, an unnamed environment official said, "The figures
on pollution control reported by local governments dropped remarkably
this year, while the real environmental situation continues to
deteriorate." The upcoming 2008 Olympic Games are pushing the government
to take more serious measures and to get to the bottom of the issue.

The possibility of government officials forging data to minimize the
environmental problems is appalling. Humanity might be getting closer to
a point of no return as long as we keep exploiting and abusing God’s
Creation. Being obedient to God and following Jesus’ teaching means
taking responsibility and taking action.
