Los Angeles gets the number two spot for most polluted.

It has to be a really close tie for first. I hear that they can't land planes safely without navigational assistance the majority of days now.

Whoo, China is number 1! California losers.

That list is a pile of fucking bullshit. Nothing but shock value journalism. There are much, much, much, much more polluted places on Earth, they just aren't as internationally known.

Wired just did a whole feature story on the most polluted place in the United States and it sure wasn't on that list because it's a small little town in Oklahoma that nobody would care about anyways.

Fucking journalism these days. :facepalm:

I was sure this was going to be another "let's slam Alberta" article about the oil sands. :rolleyes:

Lake Karachay in Russia is just plain scary :eek:

[g-m]

the niger delta is that polluted because companies generally run above-ground pipeline and tie-ins there and the idiot nigerians tap them to siphon off oil and sell it on the black market. Its no surprise its so polluted and for once 90% of the blame doesn't rest on the producers.

I was quite surprised Chenobyl (among other cities) weren't on that list so I dug a bit deeper.

That list doesn't start on the first, but you can scroll through quickly. Much of that same cities "grace" that list as well.
