Possibly this used to be true, back when the US actually manufactured anything. I think China is vying for -- or has actually captured -- the title of greatest global polluter. I chose my words with care when I wrote 'has a history of....' Your point was covered by it. |

Your point was covered by it. Well, you didn't choose your words too carefully. You said "...*being* the greatest polluter" (present tense) Possibly your meaning would have been clearer if you said "...has a history of *having been* the greatest polluter." (past tense), giving a tip of the hat to China's *current* status. In any event, have a nice day! :-) |
