BTW, in Texas it’s mostly flat scrub land with just few low lying hills etc...It’s why in many parts of Texas the wind blows relentlessly...It’s just mostly flat. They have no massive mountain ranges which act as wind blocks which contribute to holding in dust/pollutants.
IN fairness, California is full of enviroweenies in part because California’s environment is very sensitive. (And “if we’re going to pay more for fuel, G-ddammit, so is everyone else.”)
Wind blows West to East. But directly East of California’s cities are mountain ranges. So pollution generated in California’s cities becomes trapped. Contrarily, New York’s pollution goes harmlessly over the Atlantic Ocean.
How have they defined pollution? After all, there are those who consider CO2 a pollutant. And we should all be looking out for that dihydrogen monoxide!
Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t Los Angeles the Spanish word for “New Mexico City to the North”?
I wonder what the percentage of illegals living in these cities is?...Opps!!!!...not P.C.!
Pittsburgh #8? Really??
Speaking from experience, the air here is WAAAAYYYY cleaner than it was when I was a kid. And 30 years before that it was dark here at noontime due to all the coal smoke. The air likely has not been this clean here since the Whiskey Rebellion.
Some people are never satisfied I guess.
That said, any pollutants from Texas would have to settle somewhere, right? Where did it all go? The envirowhackos would have you believe Texas is a filthy, disgusting place because of a lack of regulations. They’re wrong.
