Yeah, well, Trump won where it counted didn't he?
The point is, both the United States and Japan are wealthier than Korea yet have cleaner air. By a wide margin.

Great. Nothing like a good conspiracy theory. Putin also told Trump to put on more sanctions, make the economy better, and build up the US military. Well done, Putin.

Weren't you defending Alex Jones in another thread?

Yes, hangook77 is an Alex Jones fan.

“South Korea has seen a very rapid growth of its economy and the government developed (coal-fired) power plants and nuclear power plants to give everybody energy. But as a result, Korea has the lowest share of renewable energy and highest air pollution among the OECD nations,”
The United Kingdom was burning coal for almost 50 percent of its energy consumption in 2008, but its government announced it would stop building coal-fired power plants. Since that time, the UK has gone from 49 to 9 percent coal usage in 10 years. Last year, the UK had the first day when it did not burn any coal
On the longstanding dispute here over whether South Korea should continue to use nuclear power, Rijsberman said the ultimate solution would be to get rid of both coal and nuclear energy.
There are enough renewable energy potentials in both the South and North Koreas to replace the energy source 100 percent to renewable energy
“We should not forget that the US government played an important role in reaching the Paris agreement, bringing the Chinese government to the table,” Rijsberman said.“China is staying. They invest in renewables and close (coal-fired) power plants to get blue skies. People in Beijing are fed up with air pollution. They want to breathe and stop having sick kids.“Another reason (why China remains in the Paris agreement) is because renewable energy is cheaper, and that was not even true when the agreement was signed.” The next goal for GGGI, he added, is to reduce the information gap to help people realize that the economics have changed -- that renewable energy is not expensive anymore
... Is anyone like me and can't stand the smell of diesel exhaust?

But then in 2009 I bought a Korando jeep with a Mercedes-Benz diesel engine and I enjoy whiffing the exhaust nowadays! I constantly reflect on the negative effects, as there are plenty of research studies. But, oh well.
