The science is still out on pollution. Maybe it's good for us? Maybe it's fake? I mean the air has been here a lot longer than we have. Sometimes it's dirty, sometimes it's clean, if you can't handle the ups and downs of air quality I suggest you find a new planet to live on.

Christ that site is cancer.
PM2.5 doesn't have anything to do the carbon emissions, which is where the US emits more per capita than all but 11 countries.
BTW, I love how Breitbart jerks themselves off over PM2.5 emissions, yet screams for the elimination of the EPA. -
Tried to read the article but a covfefe coffee mug pop up was in the way.

I could have just linked on the WHO report directly but I decided to use the Breitbart link instead just the trigger you

LOL And one belch of a volcano releases infinitely more CO2 than we've ever released in history.
If only we could put a carbon tax on Pel'e.

https://www.climate.gov/news-features/climate-qa/which-emits-more-carbon-dioxide-volcanoes-or-human-activitiesHuman activities emit 60 or more times the amount of carbon dioxide released by volcanoes each year. Large, violent eruptions may match the rate of human emissions for the few hours that they last, but they are too rare and fleeting to rival humanity’s annual emissions. In fact, several individual U.S. states emit more carbon dioxide in a year than all the volcanoes on the planet combined do.

I'm not saying it isn't true, I'm saying it isn't relevant. Not polluting shit that gives you cancer is great, but what does that have to do with C02 emissions?doogie said:I could have just linked on the WHO report directly but I decided to use the Breitbart link instead just the trigger you

Volcanos have other impacts on climate as well, as noted in your article.
"Volcanic gases react with the atmosphere in various ways; the conversion of sulfur dioxide (SO2) to sulfuric acid (H2SO4has the most significant impact on climate."
The earth also releases gases such as methane that are also attributed to climate change as well. The earth is warming but not as fast as they thought it would and if you were to believe the alarmists original spin of the global warming tale, there would be appreciable sea level rises by now even though the temperature rise hasn't been as much as they predicted.
Also the alarmists saw an opportunity and went back to the well post Katrina in 2005, saying the Super Hurricane will be the new norm. But since then, only Wilma shortly after Katrina, is the only Cat 4 to landfall in the US since then.
So we know that the earth is warming and glaciers are melting, just as it has the last 4 Billion years, but anyone claiming to know that there are catastrophic consequences behind it, are full of shit, as none of the original doomdsay predictions have panned out.

We're currently in an ice age that began 2.6 million years ago.

I heard someone the other day fretting, "You know that they're finding dead antelopes being exposed by thawing permafrost in Siberia??!!" I pointed out that antelopes are a temperate climate animal, not sub-artic, odd that they were able to live in Siberia at some point in the pre-pre-pre-pre-Industrial past.
And no, I don't get laid much. -

It's a helluva lot more relevant that what you're concerned with. Particulate matter is real pollution that causes real problems and deserves our? serious attention. CO2 is not a pollutant. It is a trace gas, required for life as we know it on this planet. Concentrations vary by time of day and location but on average it makes up a "whopping" 0.040% of the atmosphere. Of that trace amount, human activities contribute approximately 3% of the total 0.040%, or approximately 0.0012%. "Anthropogenic" CO2 is neither a pollutant, nor a real concern.UWhuskytskeet said:

I don't know much about the environment, but everyone needs a purpose.
The same way I drink too much, do blow, and pour my soul into screaming at Husky opponents on crisp fall days is the same way nerd environmentalists channel their frustration at things like withdrawaling from the Paris Accord.
Kumbaya let's get along. -

Well if we're going to play the pick random facts from wikipedia game then I'll do my part. The whooping 0.040% stat is irrelevant. It can make up a small part of overall atmospheric volume and still play an integral role in regulating earth's temperature.Southerndawg said:

I have no idea where you are getting the human activities have only contributed 3% to total CO2 atmospheric concentration. CO2 concentration has increased by ~40% since the Industrial Revolution. Before the Industrial Revolutino CO2 levels had stayed pretty flat for ~10,000 years. Current levels are at 400 ppm. Pre-Industrial revolution and 10,000 years prior 280ppm. Sounds significantly higher than 3% to me. -
Is the environment shrinking or enlarging tittays?
