      You do know that CO, SOx, NOx etc is worse that CO2 right?

          Acid rain ain’t no problem huh.

          Post said “unnecessary pollution”.

            That depends on a lot more factors for how dilute it gets. I didn’t know how likely it is for the air currents to dilute the aluminum exhaust over a large enough area before it rains. Maybe someone could do some analysis, but I don’t know how.

            Everything is unnecessary. We could just off ourselves and there’d be no more pollution. The only reason our existence matter is the way we feel about it. Which is the same reason fireworks matter.

          You shoud do a calculation and show the expected change in global temperature from a fireworks show.

            That number is close to meaningless. Also don’t ask others to do large amounts of research in a lemmy comment, it won’t be accurate.

        It’s not worse, it’s different. CO2 kills everything on earth but that takes a lot of it. The toxins you listed can give a community long term health issues without that much exposure. It’s a local problem vs a global problem.
