They’ve already claimed less pollution.
But didn’t change temperatures.
A lot of nuclear bombs were detonated in the 40s-960s.
Didn’t spike the temperatures the way they are claiming man can
“They’ve already claimed less pollution.”
Actually, that is a fact. Every year when China shuts down for 2 weeks during New Year the pollution coming from there is significantly less. This is primarily due to about a 40% reduction in the burning of coal to make electricity for industries. This year the shutdown was significantly longer and therefore less coal burned for an extended period. Not to mention the amount of smog cut down due to automobile exhaust.
In addition the lagoon around Venice is remarkably cleaner and clearer because their tourist based economy has come to a stop.
There is a direct link between the industrial revolution and pollution to the immediate surrounding environment.
That is where the term London Fog came from. Coal soot mixed with rain.
Most of us remember when the river in Cleveland actually caught on fire because of the flammable liquids being dumped into it. Back in the 1970’s the fact that there were very few fish in Lake Erie. Also, that the trout/steelhead in Lake Ontario had high levels of Mercury. These were all a direct result of the industrial by products being dumped into the water ways. There was also this neighborhood in Niagara Falls, NY where they buried a bunch of chemical drums in a land fill. They built a school and subdivision over that land fill. There was a 50% cancer rate in the subdivision a few years later. It was called Love Canal.
Now IF we could ONLY keep that pesky Krakatoa volcano over there in Indonesia from erupting, the air would be a lot cleaner.
