China is having some serious problems with smog, according to the ongoing United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Paris.

Across the country, cities are drowning in a smog that has lasted multiple days. Residents of Beijing, where the level of cancer-causing carcinogens in the air are at absurd levels — 20x what is considered safe — have even been advised to stay indoors.
