There's the whole chaos theory that talks about how when a butterfly flaps it's wings half way around the world, that all kinds of crazy things happen.
There was a decent movie A Sound of Thunder where this guy steps on a butterfly back in the days of the dinosaurs (time travel was involved) and as a result, evolution completely changes. It's one of those movies where you think, but what about.... that doesn't make sense.... over and over, but it was decent.
In the New York Times article: As China Roars, Pollution Reaches Deadly Extremes it talks about how not only is China polluting China, but a lot of the pollution there ends up in other parts of the world. Apparently there are studies that say that 25% of the air pollution in Los Angeles can be traced to Asia (reference.)
Is it possible that one day we will be fighting wars because of fear of the air pollution coming from other countries? Will one day there be daily statistics about where the pollution in the air came from published in the newspapers?
