The History of Global Air Pollution (1990-2020) 

What how? I am from a developing country and my country's air is very polluted. Like I am not even kidding, you will literally see heavy muds and dusts flying in the air. But when I go to a developed country, the air is very clean.

Emissions yes, but this is literal air pollution, like when you see smog in the air abd it is very common in developing countries, not undeveloped countries.

lol not everything is political mr. i hate the west

That's not the only reason. Developed countries have stricter regulations for industrial smoke filtration. Particles that cause people to die from respitory illness in China and India are legally required to be filtered in most of the West.

hmz im skeptical about data demonstrated in the video. while mortality due household air pollution might decreased drastically, generally more people live in cities and more people continiously breath polluted air and it has long term health effects. according to some data, life expectancy loss from air pollution is greater than loss from smoking or alcohol/drug use. some data suggest that 1 out of 5 deaths are directly or indirectly caused by air pollution. the two leading causes of death besides natural is cardiovascular diseases and cancers. In both cases air pollution can cause or worsen condition.

@@frjoethesecond can you give some exemples?

Bro chill this is air pollution Wawamu made another video depicting CO2 emissions

Yes, but the problem is air pollution varies greatly depending on the location (take Beijing and tibet in 2010)

@@Grason20 true. But since this is a comparison between countries then the measurements are still relevant. If we were to go into further detail, we can compare them based on city limits which does exist but cannot be used to compare national averages. If Mean is what is used to calculate the average then yes it will be grossly misrepresented but if Mode or Median is used then it would be more likely to be an accurate representation.

Unfair to small countries cuz every human wants to be comfortable

This is percent of deaths attributed to air pollution. So i don’t see your point. Yes for emissions they should do that but this is different.

This is already per capita because it shows the % of deaths in each country caused by air pollution.

This is per capita, are you illiterate?

@@totaljoker Per capita Emmisons America 15 tons Emmisons China 7 tons Emmisons India 1 tons Emmisons

You mean cause they outsource production?

@@TheZachary86 Yeah I am aware of this as China manufactures all and sundry through coal consumption! I've questioned this wisdom several times already!

@@jamiearnott9669 There’s a reason why developing countries choose coal over gas. Energy independence. Most oil flows from Middle East. And US and the west has a chokehold since Saudi + US became best friends. And lucky for the west because if China/india switched to gas, the prices would have shot up ten fold and they would be economically vulnerable to countries with western influence. No sovereign nations want to be part of that. Furthermore the hesitancy to share nuclear technologies and its disparagement slowed down nuclear adoption. Off course western nations like to point fingers at developing world. China is already at a transition point. India is going to increase coal production for another 1-2 decades.

@@TheZachary86 I agree with you that western countries can't point fingers. Yet China and India are effectively dependent on inputs of coal from Australia and can't point fingers either!

Air and Water are not the same thing.

@@Matthew-qc1xz When nuclear wastewater spreads to the whole world with ocean currents, I hope you can like this taste.

Humans would cease to exist without these cringe troll comments. phew.

No no, China numba wan, China is the creator and innovator of all diseases it makes itself like the Wuhan virus, China is the absolute best country, xie xie!

I like India, but if your gonna show other stats do most polluted air rankings for cities. America 90/118 China 22/118 India 5/118

With billions on small space u still fucked from air pollution even if per nose u do less. U guys go the wrong way xD

@@DaxRaider no it's not happening white old dude

@@DaxRaiderBe nice, he is right India is a big country and it has nice landscapes because of those reasons.

El per cápita de la India es más bajo que el de tu puto país

Look at the per capita data. India's carbon emission per capita is very low. And US is ahead of china

You have to learn more child

Hola amigo, go back to consuming drugs, smuggling people across the border and committing homicides, this thing is clearly not for you🌶

People like u fall in category of fools

Men led climate change didn't start 10-20 yrs ago but it's been there for last 100 years atleast. So, you can make a list of those countries that got industrialised in that duration. Not to mention that industries uses not so efficient equipments and methods in the beginning hence they do more pollution. I hope that answers your question why present day industrialised countries are blamed more.

Read and understand the data properly first The data shown is death caused by air pollution More population = more death This is not fair comparison For comparison see pollution per capita then comment

This has nothing to do with climate change. There is no relation between air particulates that are harmful to humans and greenhouse gases

Yeah it’s kinda a problem we have. Developing countries don’t want to stay poor and say that industrializing like the west did is the only way. And that the west should change their lifestyle and etc to accommodate for climate change. The only way we’ll truly beat climate change is if we work together though and have everyone do their best.

Developed countries have already gone through industrialization. Developing country are still in the phase that the west was 60 years ago. It would be unfair to expect poor countries to take the same measures that developed countries are taking. Instead developed countries should provide funds to poor countries so that they can afford to reduce air pollution.

Dude it's air polution deaths, not production of c02.

This is per capita

How does per Capita effect what u breathe ? Per space is the thing that makes u sick or not

@@DaxRaider not sick at all 🙂 in India no one is sick from pollution

This is already per capita

@@happyliferay this video is not per capita This video shows India at top *Search at any search engine* => 'Top most polluted countries percapita' You will not even find India at top 30.

Basically how China was exactly a decade ago, or are you conveniently forgetting that, Wumao troll?

It’s not fast, it’s still pretty high, and on par with most of the developing world

bs. Indian air quality is merely a result of lacking toilet.

You mean the air crossed over the Himalayas? And made India even more polluted than China? lol

Some countries sure but indias air quality doesn’t have anything to do with China. Himalayan mountains act as a barrier. Besides most industrial activities don’t even take place near the borders of India. This goes the same with ASEAN countries. They are more affected by haze from burning forests/stubble.

China is the world factory. of course it is going to be more pulluted being a factory for the whole world. India doesnt make anything and still become the most pulluted country in the world. What is going on?

@@Allan-zu4is And Eastern coast area of China ?

No not really, Nepal especially it’s cities aren’t known for good air quality

It's come from China.
