This is not about weather or climate - it has to do with the strategic consequences of offshoring our manufacturing.
There are some very interesting points made in this presentation. The flood of regulation in the Clean Air Act and similar produced a "self-alignment" of industry that has produced new sources of pollution and this very important idea: These industrializing regions have the very newest technologies, cheap labor, and cheap energy. And an apparent lack of concern for clean air.
Thoughts on why energy use and CO2 emissions are rising as fast as GDP | Our Finite World
How do we match their pace of industrialization and keep the air clean? Even if we ignore the air, how do we compete with our old technologies, burdened energy, and unskilled workforce?
