Agree. Incredibly disturbing how fast the Arctic glaciers and ice fields are disappearing. Seems to me to be an ecological tragedy in the making.

I live in SOCAL...Orange county to be precise. The explanation is a simple one actually

The LA basin is surrounded by mountains which box in the smog. It's gotten better over the last 20-30 years with all of the smog constraints placed on our cars and industry but it's still here. This website I think does a great job of explaining it...at least way better than I can.

As far as 10% of the cars? Also simple answer...population estimate for 2018 here is 40 million people out of a total US population of 325,000,000. We have over 10% of the US population.

Perhaps there are two different themes here...

Global warming and the vagaries of politicians . The first cannot be denied, and the second just deny everything.
