Have you been to China or India? If not, I recommend the trip. Outside our cozy confines, the world is looking scarier.

I've travelled the world extensively and have found that, for the most part, poverty and pollution go hand in hand. Cleanliness increases proportionately as the wealth of a country increases.

The USA is a clean country. The containment of real pollution is well in hand here. New vehicles, for example, are effectively pollution free.

CO2 is not pollution, in spite of it being the current whipping dog of the greenies. When real pollution diminished as a problem in the 1st world, they had to find a new "cause", and "global warming" and CO2 became it.

I'm not interested in seeing a world so degraded that my children suffer.

IMO, your children (and everyone else's) will suffer a lot more from economic depression and the resulting chaos than from the bogus straw man of "degraded Mother Gaia"...
