RE: Smoking a Forest Could be Hazardous to Your Health
Industries like hog raising or cattle raising produces lots of Methane gas and their waste products must be used to not let those gases pollute the air that we breathe. @lightsplasher
But sadly regulations in large factories are somewhat circumvented to show that they are obeying the environmental rules but in fact they are not because of corruption and politics.
Climate change is real. A few years ago our home here doesn't get flooded, now it is flooding with just one hard rainfall.
Yes, I think we really could be doing things much more efficiently but it seems like we are suffering from a "bad case of capitalism," LOL. Hopefully it is not a terminal diagnoses.
Regulations always have a way of being circumvented. Some companies are even starting to use chemicals that were banned internationally long ago. See: Mysterious rise in banned ozone-destroying chemical shocks scientists I guess these chemicals are cheaper to use than the risk of fines they may face if they are caught using them.
The price that we pay for the greed of others is environmental catastrophe and poisoning because of the processed products we are using everyday which large industries created which sometimes gets above the law.
