It's not about the facts, it's about the framing and omissions. They frame it as a "pollution war" and even use the phrase "countries that hate each other" in the lede. This is "FBI Statistics" level of hate-baiting. It's not journalism.
It makes it sound like there’s a pollution warfare even though the article makes no justifications on how these countries are choking on each other’s pollution rather than their own. The article also talks about Nepal and Bhutan but the title has only Ind/Pak
it’s hard not to associate a nefarious reason especially because it is the economist
should have simply been “South Asia is choking in its pollution”
