Almost 4/10 people in the US, one of the wealthiest countries in the world, experience unhealthy levels of air pollution.
"Climate change is not remote, it’s not an abstraction. It is a reality impacting the health of millions of people from coast to coast every year," as forest fires contribute to this.
This shows the #neoliberal prediction that rising wealth will solve environmental issues (called the Environmental Kuznets Curve) is a myth.
