If by your undefined use of the word 'pollution' you mean coal based emissions over the city of London as defined by it's Industrial Revolution borders, then yes, you are absolutely right. How about if I take an equally arbitrarilly undefined dfinition and say that by pollution, I mean radiocative waste, and instead of London, I use the world. I think then, yes, there is some doubt that pollution has gone down since the Industrial Revolution.

By pollution, I mean the total amount of all harmful substances released into the environment by humans.

I do not see how such a belief could possibly continue.

What in God's name are you basing this inane assumption on and what are you building into it? Per capita population?

Precisely. Obviously greater population = greater pollution. My point is that it is not the fault of technology, since it is actually getting cleaner.
