Should other countries pay us, since CO2 coming into the USA (usual
westerly winds) is 387 ppm and leaving is LESS at 385 ppm (both
increasing)?
Our expanding forests (50% more than 50 years ago) take in more CO2 than
our cars, coal buning etc put out.

Also, the only significant mortality from air pollution was 400 years
ago in wood-burning, fog-retaining London. My eyes burned in summer in
Pleasanton 50 years ago but not since despite 10 x the population,
downwind from SF. Even in Calif., some things are better.
