The problem with the environment here in this Country goes far and beyond just air pollution. Factories, which were initially one of the most contributing factors to the overall concern of the environment issues here in the US, are ALL required to meet certain specific standards, as outlined by the EPA, OSHA, and FDA, in order to be allowed to continue to operate efficiently without being sanctioned. The problem here regarding the environment in this Country is actually quite purposeful and blatantly done. One of the more serious problems stems from what has been allowed to hide underneath our pavements and then proceed to make travel from place to place, State to State, and City to City which has been one of the major reasons why all these people are getting sick all over this Country. This pipeline system that is installed underneath All of Our pavements, which is actually monitored and owned by an international entity is the real culprit. These pipelines are connected to all of our city municipals such as natural gas, power, and oil. They are also being governed by this clandestine agency including kept a secret on purpose in order to cover up a nationwide conspiracy involving members of these State agencies.

every spring, eastward continental wind sweeps across mainland china, the most polluted place on earth, and carries all the particulates with it. Not your problem? well the thing is, that region to east of china just so happens to be where most of world supply of semiconductors are manufactured. next time you see the gpu prices you can thank chinese pollution

Having grown up in an area that was at the time infamous for air pollution levels, the clean air act made a tremendous difference.

Thank you EPA and environmental activists

Sorry to hear that Kathy, what area If I may ask?

[@kathyjohnson2043]

@@WWECourt875 Ohio river valley US midwest. The valley has always had geology that made air quality worse: early native Americans knew to hunt here but not live here. In WW2, my dad got pulled aside because of his chest X-ray. They asked him where he was from, and when he told them, the MD said 'never mind' . Lol But, everywhere has positives and negatives.

You should absolutely take this more seriously if you live in a metropolis and are concerned about your health. Major cities have insanely high levels of air pollution!

Air pollution causes obesity? It was in the long list. Overeating and empty calories of junk food don't matter? Air pollution causes diabetes? I question that list.

[@magesalmanac6424]

Imo if you live in areas with high pollution you probably live in a city, which are known for being food deserts lacking in nutritious food options. So there could be some overlap but I don’t see how pollution directly affects obesity.

[@lunamiku4166]

This is a long stretch but maybe they mean Food Factories causes Air Pollution that's why it cause obesity?? Overall I'm not sure but it's definitely kinda sketchy to say it causes obesity

[@gutwallst6645]

​@@magesalmanac6424"food deserts" is a Left Wing talking point, not based on truth, do you really believe there's no healthy food in American cities? 😂

[@gutwallst6645]

The USA just shifted our air pollution to China, In return, we killed good paying manufacturing here in the US, while some regulations are good, this notion of we can regulate the climate is hilarious.

[@craigb8228]

The US sold most coal mines to foreign interests that are now extracting more coal than ever, and it will be burned.

If carbon levels in the atmosphere have changed from 3 parts per million to 4 parts per million that is a 33% change in 100 years. Causing harm to shelled animals but helping flowering trees tremendously.

@@DoomRulz EVs are pollution free after it is built and the carbon footprint is offset in about a year of no fuel burning so lets not pretend the total emissions are remotely close
