"So what?" is the hallmark of the brain-dead. You're illustrating my

Same mentality as above. You're afraid to think, or just too selfish.

That's propaganda. Most of those comparisons date back to the 70s
before fuel injection and smog requirements. Population growth is
cancelling out cleaner engine technology, especially in growing towns.
It all depends on the comparison dates and what region you're talking
about. Boise, Idaho is a good example of rising air pollution and noise
pollution. Growthmania ensures the trend will continue.
