Looks like the world’s most polluted city to me based on that image
Many cities look like that. You can see an air quality ranking here [1]. Jakarta is currently ranked 43. During wildfire season many Canadian cities top the lists.
Wow, Jakarta’s population is huge! It’s crazy to think that Dhaka will become the largest city by 2050, and Tokyo’s population is projected to decline. Have you heard about the Pearl River Delta region? Almost 86 million people live there, making it more populated than Germany or the UK. Crazy to think about how fast the world is changing!
When I was a kid there was 3.7B people and 74% of the animal population has disappeared.
Wonder how much sooner this would have happened if not for Suharto and the CIA.
And the smogiest.
And it has no water and is sinking into the sea. Splendid.
Wow, Jakarta just blew Tokyo out of the water! I had no idea it was that big. The rest of Asia is really dominating the top spots too. Can’t wait to see how things will change by 2050.
No matter what, I won’t be around for the worst of it, but by 2050 I think population growth will stall across the board, with some countries well into depopulation. Hopefully Japan leads the way in learning how to navigate negative population growth without economic doom.
