Real pollution has been reduced tremendously by technologies such as catalytic converters and fuel injection.
It irks me that carbon dioxide is called pollution, but a car running off a hydrogen fuel cell is seen as an improvement because it emits only water vapor - water vapor is a much more potent greenhouse gas than CO2. Never mind that manmade CO2 is insignificant, that the sun is entering a cooling phase, that the Antarctic ice has been thickening. Rich humans (Americans) are risking the existance of future generations and must be made to atone for their sins - no point in trying to extort money from those that don't have it.
Accepting measures that increase the cost of energy without actually reducing carbon emissions are clearly to enrich some at the expense of others. The "lets change just in case" brigade should try and sell the idea of healthy organ removal as a means to prevent cancer.

How come nobody is asking the cows when they would prefer to be milked?
