Smog is a seperate issue then global warming. I agree the ozone problem is getting worse. Most other air pollutants are down in the US but ozone is a problem in urban and suburban areas. ''The Edison Electric Institute, a utility lobbying group, said U.S. air quality has improved over the last three decades despite increases in power output and U.S. economic growth We can't control the weather, which does contribute to ozone,'' said Dan Riedinger, a spokesman for the industry group. ''But we can control our emissions, and they are coming down.'' Thats true. Cars emit a fraction of the nitrogen oxides that they used to (but there are more cars now) and power plant production is down as well (but I don't think it has declined nearly as much). Tim
