The suggestions that 90% of the gas and pollutants going into the atmosphere are from countries other than the United States is ridiculous.
89Hen, ever hear of "hyperbole?"
Hyperbole (/haɪˈpɜrbəliː/ hy-PUR-bə-lee;[1] Greek: ὑπερβολή hyperbolē, "exaggeration") is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. It may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create a strong impression, but is not meant to be taken literally.[2]

Hyperboles are exaggerations to create emphasis or effect. As a literary device, hyperbole is often used in poetry, and is frequently encountered in casual speech. An example of hyperbole is: "The bag weighed a ton."[3] Hyperbole makes the point that the bag was very heavy, though it probably does not weigh a ton.
Apparently not, eh? :ohno: :ohno:

According tot he World Health Organization, as Reported in the Guardian, the US is tied for the 6th lowest rate air pollution as measured in particulate matter of any country in the world at 18 particles per unit vs. a world wide average of 71 particles per unit:

While the data sources are not uniform and there are other issues with this analysis, according to the World Health Organization, the USA's pollution is not nearly as bad as many would have you believe.
