Why do you only mention the USA?
China is NUMBER ONE in polluting. The U.S. is number 2.
Here is the breakdown of the top 10 in "greenhouse gas" emissions:
1. China 6,018 million metric tonnes per year
2. USA 5,833 million metric tonnes per year
3. Russia 1,704 million metric tonnes per year
4. India 1,293 million metric tonnes per year
5.Japan 1,247 million metric tonnes per year
6.Germany 858 million metric tonnes per year
7. Canada (SURPRISE lol) 614 million metric tonnes per year
8. United Kingdom 586 million metric tonnes per year
9. South Korea 514 million metric tonnes per year
10. Iran 471 million metric tonnes per year

Keep in mind that these are "Greenhouse Gas" emissions. There is no real breakdown of what these stats tell us.
And if it's mainly carbon dioxide being put out...then that is a whole other controversial debate.
I remember when I was a kid we thought of "air pollution" as being smog created by big smokestacks belching black filth into the sky.
This isn't the same thing.
I'm starting to think that some people won't be happy until we all live in caves with no electricity and no way to travel except on horses and bicycles.
