I'm an airline pilot and I frequently fly into China and India. Anyone who routinely sees these places from the air can tell you that they are far, far more polluted than anywhere in the U.S. or Europe. India is the filthiest place I've ever been, you can smell the pollution descending through about 20,000' going into Delhi or Mumbai. I flew into Delhi about a month after the covid lockdowns started, it was remarkable in that it was the first time in years I could see the ground from altitude, the pollution is usually so bad the city is under a constant blanket of smog, the shutdowns from covid caused the air to clear up immensely.
Notice that the measure has been changed in recent years to "greenhouse gases", a non-specific term that basically means whatever the author wants it to mean. The claim that India is somehow better at controlling emissions than the U.S. is so ridiculous it's laughable to anyone who has been there. The U.S. has the cleanest air in the world, even the L.A. basin which was famous for smog in the past is worlds better than any city in India or China. In India or China you'll basically never see the sun if you live in a major city, the smog pretty much constantly blots it out. Europe is much cleaner than India and China for sure, but Paris can get pretty smoggy on certain days.
I'm always glad to return to the U.S. because of our clear skies. It gets depressing being in China or India because it's always overcast from the smog, imagine living in a place like Shanghai or Delhi where you've pretty much never seen a clear sky your entire life.
Assuming that you believe in greenhouse gas causing warming; I do not.
