最新一期的Nature——中国特刊

看到今天的nature，居然封面是鸟巢，大标题China's Challenges,把自己都吓到了。马上重新仔细看一以下网站看有没有输错网址。

这期标题里有China的就有14篇之多，随便翻了一下，涉及到中国的方方面面：经济环境、环境治理、科技发展、人口政策（计划生育）等等等等。nature忽然神经了一把，是因为奥运吗？

很多观点比较客观，但仍有很多观点不敢苟同，比如China's move to higher-meat diet hits water security的这篇。有人说过，说谎话不可怕，可怕的是九句真话里掺一句谎话，但是我要说，这种掺杂也不可怕，可怕的是断章取义。很多事情也许是对的，有道理的，但是用不同的语气、态度来分析，就完全不同了。顺便鄙视一下这几个作者，说什么中国人吃上肉了就会引起水质污染的大问题，美国人以汽车为基础的生活就没问题了？就跟说开车不污染环境，都是巴西的牛放屁才导致的温室效应一个意思。原文

copy一下部分的这期nature的目录，不知道这些paper的影响因子会如何？笑
