If you believe that manmade pollution is causing global warming, then it only make logical sense that the single greatest source of man's carbon footpring comes from the heavilly populated urban areas. That's where pollution occurs at such high levels that the environment never gets a chance to recover.
After a hot day, temps drop in the suburbs and rural areas, but stay high in the cities. Concrete, blacktop, glass, metal, it all retains the heat. Smog is so thick it almost never disperses, and sewage output is huge. No wonder ocean water around cities is always brown and yellow.
Crude oil trickles from the ocean floor but nature can handle it and within hours, it's gone. A tanker bursts in Alaska and it takes years to clean up. It's just a volume thing.
The air is cleaner where there are less people together. So it stands to reason that if you care about the planet, you won't live in an urban city area. Otherwise, you are part of the problem. Sorry. It's true.
