They didn\'t include pollen. More CO2 will make more nasty plants grow.

The big improvement lately is eliminating indoor tabacco smoke. People
used to smoke everywhere, in bars and restaurants and even in
airplanes.

We tried to go to some bars in Ireland and had to spin around and
leave. It was insane. I think it\'s better now.

We hike in our nearby canyon and just yesterday remarked that on a 2
mile walk we didn\'t see a single cigarette butt.

Cigs are still legal, and deadly, which makes no sense.

And Safeway sells those dreadful fake paraffin-saturated [1] fireplace
logs. Those are an urban hazard. We have a fireplace with fake ceramic
logs, burning natural gas, smokeless, used on special occasions.

Perfectly true. But higher ocean surface termperatures will mena more rain, which will wash the pollen out of the atmosphere faster, not to mention the 2.5 micron diameter particles that Fred is expressing alarm about.

> The big improvement lately is eliminating indoor tabacco smoke. People used to smoke everywhere, in bars and restaurants and even in airplanes.

I can remember it. Airplanes have been smoke free for quite a while now

We tried to go to some bars in Ireland and had to spin around and leave. It was insane. I think it\'s better now.

We hike in our nearby canyon and just yesterday remarked that on a 2 mile walk we didn\'t see a single cigarette butt.

Cigarettes are still legal, and deadly, which makes no sense.

The US tried prohibiting alcohol, and that didn\'t work. They generalised that lesson to cigarettes but haven\'t notice that the war on other drugs isn\'t working.

And Safeway sells those dreadful fake paraffin-saturated [1] fireplace logs. Those are an urban hazard.

How?

> We have a fireplace with fake ceramic logs, burning natural gas, smokeless, used on special occasions.

That\'s an aesthetic hazard.

The charm of real logs is that they aren\'t uniform, and change as they burn.. I grew up in Tasmania in houses that were heated by fireplaces.

As entertainment, watching real logs burn isn\'t exactly enthralling, but it does provide some distraction. We had to keep them stacked outside for a year before they were dry enough to burn well. You need quite a lot of back yard to keep them out of the way. Because my father worked for the paper mill, we got a truck load every year.

today.

My next-door neighbors work for Google and Apple and their house is
hyper-automated. The good news is the fake LED fireplace that is run
from a phone app.

Too much talking, but I agree that a lot of home automation is
horrifying.

And I don\'t want to offend him. He\'s from some eastern european
country and is proud of all that, umm, modern American stuff.

States [ including ultra-conservative Alaska ] to sue EPA over \'damaging\' environmental impact of residential wood-burning stoves

Why it matters:

The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study estimated that 5 million deaths are caused by PM2.5 annually. PM2.5 is characterized by fine particles that have a large surface area.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9223652/

Study: Air pollution causes 200,000 early deaths each year in the U.S.
New MIT study finds vehicle emissions are the biggest contributor to these premature deaths.

In U.S., annual deaths from disease due to tailpipe emissions are twice those due to car accidents.

They didn\'t include pollen. More CO2 will make more nasty plants grow.

The big improvement lately is eliminating indoor tabacco smoke. People
used to smoke everywhere, in bars and restaurants and even in
airplanes.

We tried to go to some bars in Ireland and had to spin around and
leave. It was insane. I think it\'s better now.

We hike in our nearby canyon and just yesterday remarked that on a 2
mile walk we didn\'t see a single cigarette butt.

Cigs are still legal, and deadly, which makes no sense.

And Safeway sells those dreadful fake paraffin-saturated [1] fireplace
logs. Those are an urban hazard. We have a fireplace with fake ceramic
logs, burning natural gas, smokeless, used on special occasions.

[1] American paraffin, heavy synthetic wax.

These people teamed up with Accuweather to give a daily rundown of air quality by location:

Cool maps. The west coast is usually good, from the wind off the
ocean, but the Los Angeles area is tucked in and often bad, like
today.

the short story, A guy suddenly couldn\'t use any of his automated stuff because he was locked out of all his Amazon accounts
after several calls with Amazon to find out why, it turns out they locked all his accounts because a delivery guy claimed
said something racist on his door bell, since the doorbell records he checked and the only thing said was the standard automated
voice saying \"hello, can I help you?\" to a guy walking away wearing headphones
after a couple of days his account was unlocked with not even a message from Amazon

That\'s crazy, an IT provider deciding that a paying customer is
morally unworthy of the paid-for service.
