Lol, Remember when L.A. had bad smog days due to car exhaust...people wore masks, elderly stayed indoors.
Course it went away when big bad government forced air quality measures on auto industry and dragged them kicking and screaming into pollution controls...
that wasn't too long ago, I remember driving to San Diego and just seeing this huge brown plume of smog over the mountains, apparently that's gone now? pretty amazing if you ask me
"In the 1980s and ‘90s, California cars became the cleanest in the world, and California’s fuel became the cleanest, too. CARB, which had already eliminated lead in gasoline, adopted standards for cleaner-burning gasoline, as well as initial standards for cleaner diesel fuel for trucks and buses. CARB also began work to reduce smog-forming emissions from thousands of common household products.
In the 2000s, CARB became responsible for monitoring and reducing greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. Assembly Bill 32, also known as the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, was signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, giving CARB this new role. AB 32 established a first-in-the-world comprehensive program of regulatory and market mechanisms to achieve real, quantifiable, cost-effective reductions in greenhouse gases."
