And I suspect that similar reasons of geography lead to New Yorkers not caring about pollution as much as they should. From what little I know about weather, all of the pollution in New York City gets blown right out into the Atlantic

Except NY/NYC has extremely low greenhouse gas production per capita. I am aware this is not equivalent to all pollution, but its asinine to claim that New Yorkers don't care.
