Default Questions about "The High Frontier"

I think the upcoming Olympics in Beijing will provide a glimpse
into the priorities of the future. China burns so much coal that
it's air is almost deadly. Dear Mother Nature will give us a
few very calm days in Beijing so the world can watch
the athletes flee the city for their very lives.


Why would just the athletes flee? Why not everyone else? Are only the
athletes' lives in danger? Why aren't people fleeing now?
