2. My source is BBC news by Michael Bristow and Zhu Tong.
3. The credentials include Michael Bristow who is a reporter and Zhu Tong is a Professor at Peking University who advises the Beijing Government about air pollution.
4. My source says that their is a chance they won't be able to meet the air quality standards and as a result action must be taken. Some of the action they are considering to help control the air pollution is to close factories and take 90% of Beijing's private cars off the streets at bad times.
5. Yes, I believe the source.
6. I believe the source that they might not be able to meet the air quality standards, but I am not sure that they will go through with taking 90% of Beijing's private cars off the streets because that is a lot. I do believe however it is an inreasing problem and something needs to be done.

2. My source is Cnet News by Graham Websters and researchers included in the report.
3. The credentials include Graham Webster is a reporter on the topic and researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
4. My source says that after multiple studies of China's energy sector there is not a big problem with the Coal power plants that lack cleaner technology to help with the pollution. The problem comes in with low-quality coal that is having a big impact on the amount of pollution in China.
5. Yes, I believe the source.
6. I completely believe the source because there is many places that say that China has been spending so much money to get cleaner technology to control the pollution in China. It seems they have done this, and now this report confirms they have but now they have low-quality coal that is causing the problems.

5. Yes, I believe the source
6. I believe the source because Jiang Fan is a reliable source and it I think it would be possible that pollution could cause birth defects although I do agree with the scientists that is hard to see the relationship between these two.

5. Yes, I believe the source.
6. I believe the source because first something needs to be done and I believe they are taking the step to do this with this. Another reason I believe the source is because its a top News website and it has quotes and pictures of the people in charge from each of these countries agreeing on a plan to help control global warming.

5. Yes, I believe the source.
6. I believe the source because although it is not yet true it would make sense that breathing pollution can cause illness especially for youngsters. Also many scientists agree on this which even confirms the point further.

3. Qian's credentials are he is the lead author of the study along with other researchers from the U.S. department of energy.
4. What the sources says about the topic is China's skies have darkened over the past 50 years because of a nine-fold increase in fossil fuels which has caused haze. 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.
5. Yes, I believe the source.
6. I believe the source because Yun Qian aling with many other researchers are doing a study on this and they are the lead researchers so they would know what they are talking about. I also believe it because you can actually see the haze in China from all the pollution if you look at some of the photos.
