Just got back from Kenya and I can tell you the air is fine. In fact I think its probably better than SoCal. Also, look at the border of the US and Mexico. Didnt know air quality follows international borders so precisely. Im calling this bullshit.

So countries with natural resources are a dangerous to the civilized modern first world countries, are we going to wait for the smoking gun in a shape of a mushroom cloud, we should invade and give them democracy and freedoms that's the only way to lower air pollution to safe levels

Probably because large concentrations of people ruin the air.

I know the EPA gets a lot of criticism and I'm sure there is plenty of over-regulation, but I'm glad that I'm breathing clean air.

Look in the WHO report. They state where their stations are located for data gathering at page 23. Europe has over 40 points but russia has only 1 despite it's bigger size which leaves most of it unmonitored. Same with Africa which has less than 10 points leaving most of their countries without a single data point. This is further showcased by page 38 which shows deaths in the displayed hot spot in africa are lower than europe and usa which are supposedly the green zones.

tldr: the choosen image is highly speculative and not accurate at all. Other data in the report shows a different picture.

Remember too that Russia's population density is much lower than europes, and that the quoted statistic is proportion of world population.

Which makes me overall question if russia hasn't got a red zone that simply wasn't caught because one data point in the far west (looks like it's moscow) can't cover the whole country.

Though what i find more interesting is that the data points on the US westcoast are equal to other US data points - it contradicts the previous report we've seen here about how china's pollution is reaching the westcoast.
