State of the Air

Was raining the last couple, but sunshine and blue skies today.
The air is getting warmer. Still quite breathable and plenty of it.

No, I don't think that is true. Natural forest fires, volcanoes and wind storms would still foul the air from time to time.

The only way to have no air pollution is to have no air.

i dont think the idea is no pollution, but to reduce the amount of pollution that we release into the atmosphere.

Are you suggesting that the U.S. should go back in time and become a primitive society?

looks like some very misleading stats. "Particulates" can be simple dust, pollen, or any such thing. If you measure at a dry time of year, there will be a higher particulate count because wind blows shit around.

you do realize that if all farming is done by using medieval methods, half the world's population would likely die due to drastic increases in farmer productivity:eek:
