Despite recent attempts to paint the United States as a major global polluter, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. is among the cleanest nations on the planet.
In the most recent WHO report on air pollution, the United States was listed as one of the countries with the cleanest air in the world, significantly cleaner in fact than the air in Germany, Italy, Switzerland, the UK, Japan, Austria and France.

Say WHAT? To quote famous pollution experts and climate change/glowbull warming fighters in general: "Nuh uh!". Eveybody knows that the US is the worst country in the world when it comes to ruining the erf and causing people in poor countries to die.

The worst polluters in the U.S. are environmentalist protestors.

Why? He can take it. Apparently he’s immune to this type of stuff otherwise his head actually would have popped by now.

Go to China and note every major city there has SERIOUS problems from the air pollution caused by coal-fired power plants. It's so bad you're lucky to actually see a day with clear blue skies in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Wuhan, etc.

WHO? I don’t trust them.. so why are they suddenly fans of America?
To: rktman
The United States has more than 3million square kilometers of forest including temperate as well as tropical rain forest, that consume massive amounts of CO
2 and produces massive amounts of oxygen.
Europe has half that with MUCH MORE population.
The globalists can just shut up.

Right here says it all "The report, which analyzed the annual median concentration of particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 μm or less (PM2.5) for both urban population and rural and urban population found that the United States was one of the most pollution-free nations in the world. The annual mean concentrations of particulate matter in the air range from less than 10 to over 100 µg/m3, the report states. At the very low end of the spectrum, the United States has a concentration of just 8, while China has a concentration more than seven times higher at 59, India at 66, Egypt at 101 and Saudi Arabia with the worst air pollution at 127. The mean annual concentration of fine suspended particles of less than 2.5 microns in diameter is a common measure of air pollution, the WHO states. The WHO report is corroborated by a series of other such studies on air and water pollution."

If you don’t count CO2 as a pollutant (which it is not, IMHO), then it is completely true. We are much better at controlling particulates than Western Europe, let alone most of Asia, esp. China.

Beijing is so bad they should can their air so we can buy it from them to spray stinky hippie enviro protesters here in America.

The Left says C02 is a Pollutant.
In President Trump’s Speech about pulling out of the Paris Accord, he stated that the United States has reduced C02 Emissions for Years*.
You would never know it listening to the howling.

A half Century ago, the Shah of Iran sent some engineers to Boston to study New England Telephone Co’s system so that he could improve the infrastructure in Iran. My Dad invited them all to dinner at our home and nine guys with their lovely (unveiled) wives showed up. Mom made her usual non-halal cooking, which they all ate with gusto, and then my Dad and I took them around Boston.
All they could exclaim was “Your city is sooooo BEAUTIFUL!!! And so CLEAN! And your River (The Charles!) is so clean and sparkly! Ooooo! What a BEAUTIFUL CITY! SO much nicer than Tehran!”
At the time, the EPA had not even been established yet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_dioxide_emissions
2015 total carbon emissions
China 10.4 billion tons
USA 5.4
EU 3.5
India 2.4
Russia 1.8
Under the Paris Agreement, China promises to peak emissions in 2030 at "only" 34% more than current levels.... 34% of 10.4 is 3.5... in other words, China gets to ADD as much as the entire EU emits today... IF they keep their word... and this is what the current air quality map looks like:
Note hyper-industrial Japan next door, averaging about 70ppm, and China averaging 270ppm... and the US averaging about 45ppm.

A Yuge Thank you for posting this Crucial article and related graphic facts.
Environmentalism has become the world’s new uni-religion just as Gorbachev predicted.

Of the top 500 most-polluted cities on earth, China has 100 of the top 222, and 187 in the top 500. The US has zero.
(Poland leads the western world and has quite a few, surprisingly)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_polluted_cities_by_particulate_matter_concentration
Tetovo, Macedonia is the top Western city, at #61... then Tuzla, Bosnia at #122... then Skopje, Macedonia #305... Pszcsyna, Poland #345... but then Poland has 27 more in the final 155 of 500. The Czechs have 5 just barely inside the top 500. Pretty much everyone else is in Asia

999 must be the highest the scale goes.
Those places in China with the 999 rating MUST be beautiful places to live(SARC).
It also looks like there is a Indonesia city pegging the needle too.
Mexico City looks to be the worst in the western hemisphere followed by a few places in Chile hemmed in by the Andes Mountains.
