Why is air pollution such a concern for the earth?

Answer 1

Its the same concept as water and land pollution. One would not prefer to drink polluted water as one would not prefer to breathe in polluted air nor live on polluted land.

Other issues relate to global warming/cooling (climate change). Many air pollutants are "greenhouse gasses" meaning they trap the sun's heat within the Earth's atmosphere (bad). There is also the issue of global cooling where some pollutants reflect the sun's energy before anyone/thing on Earth gets to use it. They both generally "cancel each other out", teetering on the warming side (which is partly why so many people disbelieve the whole climate change thing).

Also consider the depleting ozone layer, those with lung conditions and the consequence of changing weather patterns across the globe. The one "benefit" (and probably only one) of air pollution is that during sunsets, they can add pleasing colors to the horizon. Its a benefit photographers utilize.
