Congratulations, People’s Republik Of California, heck of a job
Best, worst cities for air quality: California ranks among worst, East Coast is cleaner
It isn’t West Coast best coast when it comes to air.
California dominated the worst-air rankings, with three of the state’s cities topping each of the categories for worst air. The Los Angeles-Long Beach area had the worst air by ozone, Bakersfield had the worst year-round particle pollution, and the Fresno-Madera-Hanford area had the worst air by short-term particle pollution.
The top 10 cities in each of the three categories were in Western states; the most eastern city was Houston. Here are the worst air cities:
Worst air by ozone:
- Los Angeles-Long Beach, California
- Bakersfield, California
- Visalia, California
- Fresno-Madera-Hanford, California
- Phoenix-Mesa, Arizona
- San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, California
- Denver-Aurora, Colorado
- Houston-The Woodlands, Texas
- Sacramento-Roseville, California
- Salt Lake City-Provo-Orem, Utah
Perhaps spend less time fighting climate crisis (scam), more on the environment. Though, I will admit that automobiles are a big driver of ground level air pollution, which is strictly an environmental issue. Funny, though, that all these Warmists in California, and Denver, aren’t live the life they want to force on everyone else.
When it comes to year round particle pollution, California has 7 cities. Warmist Oregon has one. Short term particle pollution features eight cities. The best for year round particle pollution?
- Cheyenne, Wyoming
- Wilmington, North Carolina
- Urban Honolulu, Hawaii
- Kahului-Wailuku-Lahaina, Hawaii
- Bangor, Maine
- Casper, Wyoming
- Bellingham, Washington
- Bismarck, North Dakota, Elmira-Corning, New York, Sioux Falls, South Dakota and St. George, Utah (tied)
I’m impressed on how hard California works to be the worst.
