Flint is a very small percentage of the population, so even if everyone in Flint was affected, which they weren't, it would still be possible to get a 100/100 score. The problem with Flint's water was highly publicized because of how uncommon it is for water to be unsafe in America.

The legal limit for lead in drinking water in the EU is 10 ug/L. Lots of places in the EU are above that.

Flint, at the height of the crisis, had a median of 3.5 ug/L, but 17% of samples were over 15. Compare that to the study I linked, which shows Vienna having 18% of samples over 25.

yeah. i do not doubt for a second scientists can bullshit up a nice statistic where any country on the planet gets a "100% renewable green sticker well done buddy". those are smart people.

if it says 100/100 and the US is fracking the shit out of its country something is left out. most likely by design. What we measure becomes our goals, if they say it is 100/100 that means keep doing what you are doing.

e: I can't imagine italy deservers one either, just to be clear, or the 96 in austria where I live. Lots of wells from people on the countryside are deemed unsfae bacuse of fertilizer pollution
