Well the study that the BBC link refers to is made by a US institute. I'd say you are pretty gullible if you think that the US isn't actively trying to use all means it has to put out info that makes the US look less of a polluter that it is.
And that's not paranoia, that's just the way things are. The institutions of a country make studies that favour that country. US universities are also very much funded by big corporations that have a vested intrest in seeing studies that are anti-environmental in some way.
I'm looking for UN studies concerning pollution since despite what people especially in the States say about the UN, it's still the no. 1 most reliable organisation that makes studies on a global level.
