World's worst air: India's pollution crisis in perspective

- Wildfires have raged across California for about a month and air problems persist in China, but no other place on Earth is battling the scale and severity of the pollution that chokes large swathes of north India.

The industrial hub of Kanpur, home to 3 million people, is followed by 13 Indian cities on a World Health Organization list of places with the worst air. The shift was pushed by a 2009 policy change intended to save groundwater, which bars farmers from transplanting paddy seedlings until the middle of June, instead of a previous date of mid-May.

if they would just stop using plastic straws!!!

I can't find that on my map of white countries!

Yucky

It's the path to be developed which any country may go through😕

Poor poor India omg

Need nuclear energy

GretaThunberg where u at?

World’s worst country

Send Greta there! She’ll fixem up in no time!

Sad

The issue comes from the bottom up. Lack of education at the bottom and corruption at the top. No one cares about their car emissions or any other toxic air pollution. Lack of enforcement, bribery, cost of doing things right and 'everybody' does it syndrome, all combined.

So sanction them Pathetic

Glad my government is charging me a carbon tax. 🙄

not a sign of ExtinctionR or GretaThunberg when & more importantly Where they’re needed..

So when is the extremely creepy Greta Thunberg heading to India (and China) to lecture them? We in America are absolutely sick to death of the little twit.

India will export its filth to the rest of the world! Why is India such a mess, and far richer but Pakistan much cleaner and less polluted? Why is that?

It’s just a matter of time until this is the case in other cities. We need change now.

As India will eventually grow into an economic superpower following the same path as Japan and its neighboring China, it is important for the current rich countries to assist in addressing global environmental issues.

How’s that ParisAgreement coming along ...
