SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Reuters) - California is suffering from "second-hand smog" drifting in from Asia and other places, researchers said on Tuesday, even as the state's prolonged drought has made air quality worse. About 10 percent of ozone pollution, the main ingredient in smog, in the state's San Joaquin Valley farm region comes from other countries, mostly in Asia, said Ian Faloona, an atmospheric scientist with the University of California, Davis.

He was all too busy taking a nature walk with the drought-boys today to be bothered with such triviality...

They’re just figuring this out now! Where the heck did they think it was going!!?? (China puts a new coal-fired plant on-line every 10 days by the way. And plans to do so for the next 10 years!)

I've visited China a half dozen times.The first visit was in 1980...the most recent was last year.Even on the clearest day I experienced there the air was almost unbreatheable.The world's prevailing winds,IIRC,do travel from west to east (thus allowing Japan's balloon bombs to reach the western US and western Canada)so it seems possible that some of California's smog is from China.And maybe from Japan and (South) Korea as well.
But mainly from China.

This is the same country that just signed some global warming deal with our own President Odumbass.

It’s been known for a while that Alaska gets a lot of contamination from Russia and China. Probably from Japan too. No surprise California gets it too. I’m sure a lot of west coast states get touched.
