Maybe you never will or maybe you won't know the impact of air pollution causing a premature death of someone you know during your lifetime. That certainly does not mean the air quality in Cleveland is just fine. It is not.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Cleveland–Akron-Canton region remains one of the worst metropolitan areas in the country for air pollution, according to the American Lung Association's "State of the Air" report, released Wednesday.
The Northeast Ohio area ranked the 10th worst of 220 metropolitan areas nationwide for year-round particle air pollution, despite recording its best levels of the pollutants since the association started releasing data in 1999.
Cleveland's air quality among worst in nation despite small improvements
Can you find a single example in the entire country of someone who has "killed by air pollution" on his death certificate?
How about 55000? The CDC estimates that many premature deaths in the USA from air pollution.
I read where you think of yourself as a pretty smart person.
You be lying to yourself.
Let Google make you smarter. You need the help.
Let me ask you some pointed questions then, Wilber...who is it that is the world's worst polluter right now? What country is pumping so much crap into the atmosphere that they have to declare pollution emergencies? If he really cares about pollution...why does Obama want us to sign an agreement that permits that country to increase it's pollution levels for the next fifteen years before capping them at that level in 2030?
