So the Progressives want to clean up air pollution. Look at the great job California has done.
California again leads the pack. Yes a state where regulations have regulations. Pretty sad when the Weather Channel calls you out.
The 2019 “State of the Air” report focuses on three different categories of air pollution between 2015 and 2017. Those categories are ozone, year-round particle pollution and short-term particle pollution. A list of rankings was created for each category. Ozone pollution is more commonly known as smog, while particle pollution is soot.
California cities topped all three lists, with Los Angeles ranking worst in ozone pollution, the Fresno metropolitan area worst in year-round particle pollution and Bakersfield worst in short-term particle pollution.
