All that is true but it is also true that the air quality in big cities sucked compared to now.

Precisely! And yet, we weren’t conditioned to fear and hate it. One has to look through the perspective of that era.

I used to like the cool cars that came out every year. Now they are all just blah.

Catherine Flowers, a field activist in Houston with the advocacy group Moms Clean Air Force,
Houston is flat and at sea level. Air blows in and blows out.

there are even sand (dust) storms from Saudi Arabia that affect our skies.
———-
Wife and I have a son and family in Houston. We travel there 2 or more times a year and have never experienced any form of air quality problems.
The way these environmental people talk you would assume there are people gagging on a consistent basis for more and fresher air. Give me a break!

unhealthy levels of ozone

Weren't we in danger because there was a 'hole' in the ozone layer?

Don't we need ozone in the atmosphere to protect us?

The ALA does acknowledge that we all gotta go sometime.. No?

That this planet has survived so long in this cruel universe should make us all hold our breath.. in awe.

All pollution is local it seems and so is politics.

The Oregonian once reported that 18% of environmental mercury in Oregon comes from China.

Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.

Organizations Funded Directly by George Soros and his Open Society Foundations:

I didn’t find it on the list but I’m sure Soros has his filthy hands in this...

Heck, it was bad into the early 70s. The EPA didn’t come around until then, that’s when auto emissions controls got going, etc.

Big Cities have dirty air? Who knew? On average, America has some of the cleanest air in the world. Better than Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, Germany, Netherlands, and all the other “green” countries that look down on us. That is, when it comes to “real pollution” that causes actual health problems. Not CO2 and other fake pollutants.
