Notice how low L.A. is. They’ve really turned it around. A combination of exhaust gas recirculation and catalytic converters.
Looks to me like Big Al should go over and bother his buddies in Iran with his nonsense.
YES and the U.S. is ALWAYS the focus of the U.N. and the global warming elite limo liberals as the reason to blame. Like every other freaking problem in this world....the finger is pointed towards Islamic nations.

When I was a kid we used to have “smog alerts.” I don’t think we have had them in the last 25 years.
Dallas has smog and ozone alerts all summer long...shocked they are not on the list.
“Dust” is being redefined as “pollution.”
Well we got rid of air pollution, but the Left realized it wasn’t enough for them to gain power, so then they had to invent other crises’ such as “Acid Rain” in the 70s, then of course, when that failed, we got “Global Warming”, then “Climate Change.”
My son has to do business in Beijing from time to time, and he says the pollution is absolutely horrible. I’m really surprised that it’s worse in all those Muslim countries. I wouldn’t have thought they were that industrialized.
Camel farts?
I looked up Ahwaz, Iran on Google Maps. It a city in a desert, not unlike Las Vegas, except the desert goes on much farther. Of course it is going to have an uncontrollable dust problem. The only things they could possibly do bring down the levels of dust are to encase the city in a large sci-fi dome like Logan’s Run, or move the city.
I grew up in LA. 64 years.
It was hell when I was a child. But today, I see very lovely clear skies.
Probably volatiles from all the oil operations in the desert.
Where are the Texas cities? According to the moonbats, Texas is polluting the world.
Ahwaz has 3.2 million people and moving it might be tough
I seem to remember that Phil Silvers got Uncle Jed Clampett to finance the boring of a huge hole through the mountains east of LA, and the mounting a huge exhaust fan inside. LA was going to get the clean air, the people on the other side of the mountains were going to get the smog, and Uncle Jed was gonna get the shaft.
So our worst city is equal to Paris.
When I was a kid we traveled through Pittsburg in the mid 50’s, couldn’t see very far. Then in 61 we went to New York to put my older sister on a steamship for a European trip and it was pretty much just a constant haze.
Albore flew where on his private jet and rode in his stretch limos to say this?
The only reason Hilo, HI is even ON that list is because of the ACTIVE Volcano just down the road. Sometimes you can smell it, but it’s Mother Nature, NOT human-Caused.
It will snow in the punch bowl, and within hours, all of the snow capped mountains are browned. It is pretty nasty.
No kidding, you have to wash your clothes twice and rinse extra when you get back to the states to get the smell out.
The countryside is gorgeous, but the capitol is everything you'd expect in a glorious utopian paradise.
