I live in Northern Virginia, a very densely populated area. And while you argue that we should do something about smog, I think the rest of the world needs to do something. In Indonesia and China they have had bad enough air pollution that they had to wear surgical masks around outside. I think America and Europeans countries have been much better at limiting emmissions than the rest of the world. Getting angry at America for not signing it is stupid, we should just make sure the really bad countries sign it. Our smog isn't that bad, maybe NY and LA are really bad but we are already making new gas to lower emmissions and raising emmission standards. (That's why gas is more expensive in CA, because they use special formulations to limit emmissions) I just don't think the world should be mad at us when it's Asia and South America who are doing the most damage.
