"Southern California smog worsened for a second straight year in the latest sign that progress in cleaning the nation’s most polluted air is faltering."
"The dive in air quality comes even though emissions are declining, forcing regulators to explain why returns are diminishing after years of progress battling smog."

What?
What it means is global warming is not effected by humans.
How many South of the Border junkers are rolling in Cali?
And how much is coming across the ocean from China?
That just means we need to raise the gas tax HIGHER.
Green is for gringos.
“forcing regulators to explain why returns are diminishing after years of progress battling smog.”
Could it be they are wrong?? May be all the wild fires are the cause??
What? Surely nature had absolutely nothing to do with it!
We need the rejuvenation of the old Parkay commercials
Its not nice to fool mother nature!
The LA basin is exactly that: a basin.
Photochemical smog has existed there well before any real development or population increases came about.
Hmmm . . . “emissions” are “projected” to have decreased but the pollution readings keep going up. In a region with millions of people living outside of the law. Surprise surprise!
At some point a floor is reached.
Variations in weather trumps variation in compliance.
Smog goes up and down, but should trend down.
Wimps.
They call that smog nowadays?
Should have seen it back in the ‘50s and ‘60’s. We had real smog back then.
well there certainly are a boatload of illegals that don’t register or smog and repair their cars, it’s cheaper for them to just go to their local friendly illegal document store and get phony registrations.
Exactly. I visited LA in the early 70’s. My outdoor pictures from the trip all have a brown band just above the horizon. There is no more fervent an environmentalist bent than in LA. I guess actual SCIENCE is totally lost on the Left.
Oh they don’t bring the crap up from ol mejico, they buy their junkers up here from disreputable high interest sharks that they trust because they Habla Espaniol.
Didn’t Glen Campbell (RIP) make a comment about God creating smog for Los Angeles because He did not want to see what was going on down there, lol?
You aim too low, moonbeam and the democrap gaia worshippers want to ban gasoline powered cars completely.
There is a reason why the air quality in California is so bad despite the the hard work of the last three democrat governors, Gray Davis,Arnold Schwarzenegger(yes the goobernator)and Moonbeam Brown(just finishing what he started decades ago) to destroy industry and families in the state and it has a lot to do with this:
A blanket of haze hung over the land that would become Los Angeles on October 8, 1542, when Spanish sailors entered San Pedro (or perhaps Santa Monica) Bay and made the first written observations of the Southland. This early air pollution so impressed the the sailors and their captain, Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, that they named the area "Baya de los Fumos, or "Bay of the Smokes." (The name, sadly, did not stick.)
Related to a nearby thread, perhaps the increase in pollution is due to the proliferation of emotional support pigs.
