COP27 makes no mention of this. Climate change in india seems like 18th century standards
- ch4s3 4y agoThis is a dumb take. NYC for example is 68th on the list. Mecxico City is in a depression in a mountain plateau, and car exhaust and other stuff gets trapped there. Dehli has the problem of agricultural burning in a neighboring state. Bejing among other things is still surrounded by industry and gets a lot of its power from coal, both of which are resolvable issues and they've made progress. Everything in the top 25 of the list but Seoul is in a developing country and most of them use coal power or are in unfavorable geographies for clearing smog/air pollution.

- ch4s3 4y agoWashington D.C. isn't even on the list and Paris, London, Berlin, Sydney, and Tokyo aren't in the top 60. All of the top 25 are industrial, poor, poorly situated geographically, or some combo thereof.

- ch4s3 4y agoThis is a discussion about smog and local air pollution, what are you even talking about?

- lob_it 4y agoTruth be told, blah blah blah huh :) I was simply saying india is also #1 on plastic littering in the ocean. https://www.euronews.com/green/2021/06/22/ranked-the-top-10-countries-that-dump-the-most-plastic-into-the-ocean https://www.euronews.com/green/2021/06/22/ranked-the-top-10-... We also noticed the AQI dip into 300+ territory today. Where does that pollution go after? The ocean is not where it dissipates :)
- ch4s3 4y agoPlastic pollution is totally unrelated to the topic here. When the AQI drops it’s because the heavy smoke particles drop out of the air or get dispersed by prevailing winds.
- lob_it 4y agoMexico City.... Bejing.... new dehli... Trends are something :) Currently, new dehli is showing an AQI of 416. The age of compute likes accurate numbers :p Garbage in, Garbage out is already a known algorithm :)
- bobthepanda 4y agoNYC is on the list with an AQI of 26. AQI below 50 is Good, where 'Air quality is satisfactory, and air pollution poses little or no risk.' https://www.airnow.gov/aqi/aqi-basics/ https://www.airnow.gov/aqi/aqi-basics/ The reason it's on the list, is that it's just a list of big cities.
- ch4s3 4y agoThat’s my point NYC has good air quality.
- tacker2000 4y agoWhat does this have to do with COP and climate change? Whilst this is of course an environmental issue, its a local, seasonal problem that is due to the geographic location of Delhi and farmers burning their fields among other factors.
- lob_it 4y agoThe trends of capital cities and governance. See links below as AQI in capital cities directly correlated with plastic litter in the oceans by country. I myself did not manipulate any of the data. 21st century standards do not apply with direct correlation I guess. "Do as I say, not as I do" is comedy :p
- tacker2000 4y agoOk but what does this have to do with COP and climate change?
- lob_it 4y agoThe message in plain english from COP1 to COP27 did not resonate with the economic gains provided to the aforementioned trending capital cities predating the 21st century. 0=0+0 :p The economic barriers to evolution are not a valid response. Its still 2022 https://www.iqair.com/india/delhi https://www.iqair.com/india/delhi The real-time city ranking extends beyond the capital
