So you’re sayin’ all the billions spent on pollution control in the developed world were p*ssing in the wind? LOL
Yup !
Don't screw with Mother Nature (!), she can be a nasty Beeootch !
Took a trip to Hawaii in the 90’s. Went to see eruption on the coast of Kilauea with my kids, hired a private car and tour guide.
We were on the southeast coast and the guide was telling us how awful it was. No jobs in the area. I noticed a bunch of bumper stickers with a Rocket and a slash through it “No Rockets”. I asked him what it meant.
He said there was a proposal to build a rocket launch facility that would make Hawaii the Cape Kennedy of the Pacific rim. There would be a number of rocket launches. Associated high tech industries to build and supply the space port. Collateral jobs for the locals in food, beverage, hotels etc etc etc.
Many were opposed to the rocket launches because they were “concerned about the pollution associated with the launches.”
I just laughed. “ Let me great this straight, you are opposed to a few rocket launces, and yet the VOLCANO HAS BEEN ERUPTING CONTINOUSLY SINCE 1985 putting millions of tons of CO2, suffer dioxide, particulates and god only knows what else into the atmosphere?’
Dude just stared at me. At that point they deserved to be poor and unemployed.
You can’t fix stupid.

Nope, but all the effort to reduce AGW is worthless if a mega-eruption happens.
