4. My source says that Beijing is paying citizens as much as $3,600 dollars to give up heavily polluting vehicles. They are even paying more for people to purchase cleaner cars.
5. Yes, I believe the source.
6. I believe the source because although it is just like a news report it seems very reasonable that they would do this to help control pollution.

5. Yes, I believe the source.
6. I believe the source because many major organizations have confirmed this and as a result there has been a ban on plastic bags in China. It makes sense to ban plastic bags if they are consuming so much oil.

However I think they meant in terms of pollution in terms of size of city or country compared to amount of pollution putting out. This would then make a lot more sense that China is not number one but it is still up there.

The haze also appears to reflect the sunlight back into space and cooling the Earth's surface which is the complete opposite of global warming. However, when the cooling mask is lifted the effects of the fossil fuels now will accelerate global warming.
