The SUN is getting warmer. We feel that. Mt. St. Helens dumps 100's of tons
of S02 into the air each year - far exceeding cars and power plants of the region.
The little one in the Philippines cooled the earth by 1 degree by dumping more
crap into the air than all trucks, cars, motorcycles and ... of all time. Far worse
than many thought at the time - but remember it was a colder year and the stars were
colored.....
The oilfields that burned in IRAQ and the triangle area of Kuwait put black soot
around the world.
The UK was a very dusty place to live in for many years. Now cleaner, how about more.
I had a very interesting experience the last time I emigrated from
Minnesota to California - when I was coming down from the high desert, I
crested the rise, and all I saw was blue sky! I was flabbergasted! Just
about 15 or 20 years ago, the whole sky over the LA basin was brown.
People bitch about harsh smog regs, but somebody's doing something right! :-)

The air in major (and not so major) Chinese cities is barely
breathable these days.
Clean up the CA automotive emissions and export half of the industry
and things are bound to start looking up, environmentally speaking.

I presume you meant by CA = Canada ??
Because CA = California has the most stringent smog laws in the world.
