[The Truth About Cars] Editorial: Obama Lets California Determine National Fuel Economy ...: “The paper provides evidence that people in California are harmed more than people outside of California due to carbon dioxide’s effect on air pollution…The study found that carbon dioxide increases ozone and particulate matter - unhealthful pollutants in smog - by increasing temperatures and water vapor in the atmosphere…it showed that ozone, in particular, increases the most where it is already high.
