Pity more isn't being done over here.

"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the United States has
tightened air quality standards in an effort to help improve public
health.

It is lowering the amount of smog-forming ozone permitted in the
atmosphere for the first time in more than 10 years.

Health and environmental campaigners wanted more stringent limits but
industry has lobbied against them.

Industry leaders say complying with the new standards will prove
expensive.

Ozone can harm people's lungs and exposure can aggravate conditions
such as asthma and increase susceptibility to respiratory infections.

The new level is reduced from 80 parts per billion to 75 parts per
billion.

However, the EPA's clean air scientific advisory committee had
unanimously recommended setting a standard no higher than 70 parts per
billion.

Doug (Doug riseup.net>) gurgled happily, sounding much like they
were saying:

Ummm, I thought there was a problem a few years ago with there not being
enough ozone, and holes?

Oh, wait, I forgot. There's good ozone and bad ozone, isn't there?

But we need ozone to repair the holes at the poles to prevent the sun
heating them and melting the ice.

Thus adding even more to the overpopulation of the planet. Imagine when they
have a cure for everything and eliminate any kind of "accident", we'll be
screwed.

The Greenies tell us that things are beginning to change over in the US, and
yet, AND YET
as i'vementioned the biggest selling vehicle (by far) in the US - more
popular than any car is introducing its new 2009 model F-150

Guess what - tey've dropped the small V6 engine and introduced and evn
bigger Hemi.

Some people need to realise that although themeedja follow some hidden
agenda we can look at the electric interweb and discover some facts that the
"Dougs" of this world tr to hide
