Captain Haplo,

the part about Hummers wasn't from the WHO link although the whole SUV-thing is pretty significant IMO.

So far US has been the no. 1 opponent of all global anti-pollution efforts. And so far Obama hasn't done anything to counter this.

About deaths caused by pollution in the US.

"Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides help form fine airborne particles and soot, which trigger asthma attacks and cause lung and heart disease linked to more than 20,000 premature deaths a year."
