From the article, "If there's a relevant point to be made, is there's not much we can do when such huge forces are at work. The combined might of all the OPEC sheiks, G-8 leaders and the World Bank poobahs combined pales in the face of 300 million Chinese peasants moving into the city, buying a sedan and plugging in an air conditioner."

Poor Chinese. They sure get a bad reputation. How about "... pales in the face of the 300 million fat Americans driving a block to Walgreens to buy a gallon of ice cream."?

Food for thought.
