But, but I thought it was the USA that was the big polluter of the world and we had to pay the third world for our sins..(?)

Historical polluter. From the 1750s to the 1950s Western Europe and North America produced the most global pollution as these were places where the populations grew (thanks to increased medical care) and also these places were the leading industrial powers. As the polluting industries moved east, the pollution went there as well.

London's famous fogs were really smog and they've disappeared since the 60s
