One of the ways US fossil fuel use is down but production is record breaking is it’s US coal being burnt in India.
This particulate pollution from small scale coal use is obviously horrible locally, but it doesn’t just stay there
I remember an article a while ago that said a lot of the particulate is landing on icebergs all the way at the poles. Because soot is dark, it warms up even faster than the iceberg and increases the speed it melts. So even when it’s out of the atmosphere, it’s still causing damage.
I wish we could do something about it, but regardless of party, every incoming admin keeps breaking the prior admin’s fossil fuel production limits.
Maybe they could suck it up into a machine that turns it into plastic.
I’m thinking that maybe humanity should do something about these issues
Yes that sounds be a no brainer and will lead to politicians who have the climate as priority to get elected.
Right, Anakin?
Oh, we’ll do. We’ll build domed enclaves with filtrated air and start selling portable gas tanks with breathing mix
You can even have a strawberry flavour!I was told that by now I’d be living in a domed city on Mars, not a domed city on Earth.
See? Saved you the ticket!
Ah yes, Paradigm City. Now we just need the giant robots run amok.
If only we let billionaires do whatever they want we wouldn’t have issues like this!

Unfortunately this is mainly a byproduct of a bunch of farmers all burning their fields at the same time. Happens every November in Delhi.
