air pollution in California

[David]

I found this article today

When I was in Shanghai a few years ago, the air looked like the pictures of LA in the article. I wonder if the Chinese are making progress.

Good history lesson.

More or less a hit piece on Trump. But that is to be expected considering the source.

I was never in California before this century, but the pictures looked like the air in China. Better list me as a bit of a hypocritical tree hugger. i do like my outboards. At least both are DI.

They are.

If we can reduce the cost of an American made car there are more jobs and more money/opportunities for workers. The Cali. smog regs are stifling car sales there. Newer cars on the road better than old cars on the road makes it a wash on pollution. People are driving older cars due to cost of new ones. Fairly simple.

The only moderate day when I was in Shanghai 5 years ago was a rain day. The rain seemed to scrub the air. Maybe it will be safe to go back - if they stop arbitrarily arresting Canadians.

"In the presence of water and sunlight, plants take in CO2 during photosynthesis to create fuel, glucose, and other sugars for building plant structures."

Are they?

You see an amazing number of good new cars on the roads of California - not at all like what you used to find in places with high car taxes like Norway and Denmark.

There is a reason for that. All the older cars failed inspection and have either been destroyed or sent elsewhere. And where do you think a lot of the older vehicles go? To live in Mexico.
