Don't those IMF and World Bank organizations prevent any country except
for the US from implementing emissions regulations?

I think we hire their workforce for substandard wages to make the
stuff, then we blitz 'em with marketing, and sell it back to them. We're
basically selling them the seeds of their own destruction---and they're
planting 'em and growing 'em.

good point, Chris, altho i don't know enough to
comment on it.

what i can say for sure is that the smog cloud
coming from California IN THEORY should be getting
smaller, because this state has very strict emissions
regulations, and big penalties for disobeying them.

but in practice, so many people continue to move
into Southern California that i think the volume
probably counteracts the higher standards, which
still results in increasing pollution.
