This is shaping up to be the worst year in history by a long shot. Where we are, the crop burning goes on all night starting just after dark so the toxic 2.5 PM air pollution levels peak just before dawn. Very well organized but ot seems the sino/thai agro corporations that run the show are just too greedy in their quest to increase production to care about the environmental catastrophe being forced on the peasants with impunity.  ????
