Answer 1

Maybe your sunglasses are obstructing your view. The air is as polluted now as it was then. There is always a gray haze distorting the sky's view.. .

Answer 2

Yes, the CARB and SCAQMD have been pretty aggressive with cleaning up air pollution. They are now requiring reformulated gasoline statewide.  The Metro Rail has also helped a little.

Answer 3

no ... wait until the fires start.   But, I DID notice that it's ALOT more humid in the LA area in recent years.  Must be everyone watering their lawns.....

Answer 4

no China curbed its pollution. The air quality is still bad.
