Fake newsMore on Moore -- in 2015, he was asked by a reporter about the safety of Monsato's Roundup weedkiller. Moore said that one could drink a quart of it without harm, but refused to drink a small glass of it when offered by the reporter. "I'm not stupid," he said.

Correction: The original version of this story identified Moore as a paid lobbyist for Monsanto. In a statement published Friday, Monsanto said Moore “is not and never has been a paid lobbyist for Monsanto.”

So he didn't say it was safe to drink a quart of it?
There is still room for improvement, largely due to older vehicles still on the road. See above.
You haven't heard about the hearings this week? Or are you just ignoring them?

Don't know. I wasn't there. But I've drank and eaten much more than a quart of it over my lifetime.

What conundrum is that?
A lady I used to work with in the 80's drove an ancient beast of station wagon. She had gotten the car and custody of four kids in a divorce settlement. While helping her with some parking lot repairs one night after work (changing the thermostat, if I remember correctly) I asked her why she didn't get something newer. She said that the amount she could get on a trade-in wasn't enough for her to afford a new car big enough for her family.
The State ARB eventually solved her problem. First they rented her car from her, allegedly to measure its emissions in a controlled set of driving tests, and loaned her a newer car of similar size while they were doing it. Eventually they offered her a big sum of money for it which allowed her to get the newer cleaner car she really wanted. The ARB sent the old one to the crusher. That was a direct and financially efficient way of reducing air pollution at the source.
When I first moved to California in 1970, I bought a used 1960 VW Beetle. There were no emissions controls of any kind other than the fact that it had better than average fuel efficiency compared to cars of that time (20/24 MPG city/highway). Later that year I bought a new 1971 VW Beetle with my re-enlistment bonus money. It had all kinds of improvements - a sealed gas tank, a PCV valve, and a simple mechanical device that reduced hydrocarbon emissions when idling and accelerating,. There was no biennial smog test required then, but the CHP randomly set up roadside test points where they would inspect that the emissions control devices had not been removed or altered and would measure the tailpipe emissions. A new law allowed any police officer to issue a ticket to the driver of a vehicle with visible smoke coming from the tailpipe - the "Cheapy Smoker Law" a policeman friend of me called it.
Now you can't buy a gasoline-powered personal car that doesn't have a catalytic converter and an engine computer that has as part of its program reduction in emissions.
Where have you been living over that time?

Why are you so opposed to political efforts to clean up our air and water? Have you seen how much LA’s air has improved since the 70s as a result of political efforts to clean it?

Instead of wasting your time looking up videos like 4nos does, you should have watched videos or read transcripts of the testimony.
