3. The credentials are Alex Pasternack who is a reporter who is just passing the information along.
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.

2. My source is Mongabay.
3. Their credentials are China's environment protection agency and The state environmental protection (SEPA).
4. What my source says is that China failed to meet any of its 2006 pollution control goals. SEPA still believes they can meet future goals on the track they are going by 2010.
5. Yes, I believe the source.
6. I believe the source because i have found many sites that have said they have not reached their goals but are well on their way. It is also a very reliable source being the SEPA.

2. My source is Geology by NASA.
3. The credentials are NASA researchers in particular Hongbin Yu, an associate research scientist of the University of Maryland Baltimore County working at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md.
4. My source says that NASA has a satellite that can measure the amount of pollution in the United States that comes from China. The amount of pollution in the United States from China is equivalent to 15% of local pollution.
5. Yes, I belive the source
6. I believe the source because NASA researchers are probably the most reliable source because of how much study they have done.

2. My source is oneworld Daily Headlines by many organizations reporting on this.
3. The credentials include The Ministry of Commerce,National Development and Reform Commission, and State Administrationfor Industry and Commerce who are all major organizations that help to control pollution in China.
4. My source says that air pollution is not the only major form of pollution in China but there is another one known as the white pollution problem. It is a pollution from plastic bags. China has hoped to put a stop to the plastic bag pollution by creating a law banning plastic bags.
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.

2. The source is The encyclopedia of Earth by Sjaak Slanina.
3. The credentials include Sjaak Slanina who is just the lead author and reporter on this air pollution topic.
4. My source says that recent journal articles have been produced that show China is not the number one polluter in the world. It also gives several data tables showing the top 10 and top 20 leading pollution cities in the world.
5. I somewhat believe the source.
6. I don't completely believe the source because it says that China is not the leading producer of pollution in the world which is hard to believe because of how big China is. 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.

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.

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.
