Really? Geography causes pollution... That's a new one on me. Seems to defy science. Cause and effect. I thought it was stuff you dumped into the atmosphere that caused air pollution Our buddies out east have more of a pollution problem because they get all of the pollution from the Los Angeles basin. It's all funneled to them by the ocean breezes and then blocked from dissipating by a combination of the mountains and a persistent inversion layer. Without the inversion layer and mountain ranges the pollution would dissipate in a gentle rain of particulate matter caressing the world with it's hydrocarbons of love.
