  1. Before the EPA was created air quality was improving in the US. All those things you listed can be done at the state and local level. The EPA creates unnecessary layers of bureaucracy that hurts progress. It needs to be removed.

  2. Actually the system is great. You want gridlock at the federal level. If you want change do it at the state level.

  3. Air quality was improving before the EPA. Wages were also going up before the EPA as well. Since the EPA wages have been pretty much stagnate.

  4. That does not support anything. I have a picture from three years ago that since there was so much smoke you can look directly at the son like it was the moon. https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2014/01/a-report-card-for-humanity-1900-2050/282928/

  5. The EPA is unconstitutional to begin with. Also, before the EPA air quality was improving. The EPA will show numbers on how it was improving starting in the 70s, but they were crated in that time. They cut out an important section of the graph. Before the EPA air quality was improving, but the EPA leaves that out. Also, since the early 70s, the time the EPA was created, wages have been stagnate. There is nothing anti-science about this.

  6. Oishii, I am a doctorate student in physical chemistry, so I do know and understand science and research. " is unscientific to assume just because two phenomenon occur at the same time does not imply causation." I agree 100%. Those on the left love to make vague statements so I make them at times as well. For example people feel that removing the EPA will lead to the world being polluted in mass amounts when nothing shows that will be the case.

  7. Oishii, you have not addressed other parts of my comment though. But again, I study science for a living and I work in a research lab.

  8. Bill, you are looking at just one area, LA. How about we look at the entire US. https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2014/01/a-report-card-for-humanity-1900-2050/282928/ But if you want to just look at LA than I someone can just look at Iowa and say that the earth is not warming because Iowa just saw a record cold winter. You talk about how emissions were falling, they were falling to begin with.

  9. Barry, at the state level policies are managed better. You complain about KS when they, with little industry and major businesses, was above average in economic growth. California has major technological companies and has had GDP growth below the US average. Around 2/3 of Louisiana's governors have been democrats, including the one now. I don't consider that to be "Republican rule". But, at the state level you can micromanage policies to where they are far more efficient.

  10. Niklas, we know wind patterns and how water flows. We will know where the pollution is coming from. Please don't act dumb.

  11. Niklas, you will just hold the state responsible, not the company. Say Nevada had light regulations and allowed a plant to open up that polluted the air. A plant was built near east Nevada and was pumping pollutants in the air and going into Utah who had strict regulations. Those pollutants did not become diluted enough to be beneath Utah's regulations. The federal government will go to Nevada and tell them to find the source of the problem and stop it or keep paying a fine. "What you are saying is that it´s ok to poison people if there is a chance you can fine them for it later." We already have that system in place.
