We chose the holiday, not to put a damper on celebrations of America’s independence, but because it is the best way to do a nationwide study of the effects of fireworks on air quality,” said Dian Seidel, a senior scientist at NOAA’s Air Resources Laboratory in College Park, Maryland and the study’s lead author.

Liar! You could have used New Year's Eve.

After 5,000 years of celebrating the 4th, it will equal one day of a volcanic eruption. It is the hot air and CO coming out of lefties that is causing - well you name it!

“...new study from scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration...”

Hinges totally on the definition of “scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration” .... from past performance there are none there, just PC hacks.

I'll believe in Man-Made Global Warming when those that preach it, act like it.

So far, I have not seen any indication of altered lifestyles.

That European conference last year had more private jets than they had room for.

Did you see the pics of all the green lush lawns of Hollywood's Rich & Famous while in a major drought.

Perhaps instead of fireworks, we can all gather and look at the sky. No music, because they could disturb native wildlife. Then, when the allotted time has passed for our silent meditation to Gaia, we can “jazz hands” instead of clap, and all go home in our hybrid cars or on bicycles.

Kumbaya.

Even if we burned every US flag in a greenhouse-gas-free incinerator, and shipped every last firework back to China, these God-hating, America-hating Communists would not be satisfied.

Well, your suggestion would make our cat much happier! He has been a nervous wreck the past few days, hearing fireworks going off. I don’t think he was afraid like this, last year.

Translation: "We chose the holiday to prove that you so-called patriots are all really planet-killing monsters." It may come as a surprise to the activists involved, but the U.S. did not invent fireworks nor are our shows even close to the biggest on the planet.

Maybe it’s not fireworks he fears.

Maybe it’s overly invasive government that has him out of sorts.
