[edit]This is the most poorly written, useless Wikipedia page I've ever seen! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.83.95.39 (talk) 06:06, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
Rationale for article edits
[edit]This page seems to be based mostly on a single, critical research paper and pure speculation. I think it needs quite a bit of cleanup in terms of neutrality and references. I deleted the paragraph about global warming because it was unsubstantiated and seems very unlikely. The term "smog" refers to the haze over coastal Californian cities caused by automotive exhaust. I can't find an authoritative writeup on the history of the program but given its age and name, the intentions of the program seem to be much more connected to smog than to global warming. If there is a public statement from the government tying this program to global climate change, please attribute it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Svachalek (talk • contribs) 04:30, 22 February 2010
- Good general info but could use more specifics about the actual smog regulation. --Lena815 (talk) 09:38, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
