Analysis: Red States Have Much Cleaner Air Than Blue States

The average red states’ air is 10 percent cleaner than the average blue state, according to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) data analyzed by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

The EPA data tracks average exposure to small particulates, which kill roughly 5.5 million people globally every year and cause most asthma. Particulate emissions have fallen by 35 percent since the year 2000, mostly in states that voted for Republicans.

The state with the cleanest air in America was Wyoming, which had a population-weighted average exposure to particulates of five. California’s air was the nation’s dirtiest, with an average weighted exposure of 12.5. The average red state had a weighted exposure of 8.31 while the average blue state had an exposure of 9.05. Adjusted for scale, this means that red states have air that is 9.87 percent cleaner than blue states.

Silly article.

There will be more particulates in the areas where the spraying is the most intense. For the most part, the military sprays heavily prior to storm systems. In terms of WHERE however, the military sprays heavily over both sea boards.

The Pacific sea board is sprayed to prevent the Fukushima radiation from falling on the continental 48 states. Alaska pays a heavy price for that decision. Canada is being blasted with heavy metals.

The Atlantic sea board is sprayed because of all of the heavily populated cities in the east. One may assume this has more to do with depopulation than with weather modification.

Red states are more rural. Blue states are more urban. That is the biggest difference.

Particulates?

Aerosols?

Nano-size metals?

Solar radiation management?
