Stoies about environmental issues surrounding the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing appear online today in several places. CNN has an article suggesting that the air pollution problem has not really been tackled and time may be running out to do something about it. The IOC is even suggesting that some events may have to be delayed if conditions are too bad on the day.
Meanwhile, China Daily are reporting that the United National Environment Program is lauding the organizers for 'greening' the games. The games are apparently a catalyst for the acceleration of environmental programs across the city. Sure, the article does mention air pollution is still an issue, but is much more confident there is still time to fix it.
