>isn't even in our hemisphere
Looks like we're gonna have to do some colonizin'
It's much cheaper to install solar panels in Africa than to clean up the mess afterwards. A coal power plant would be there for the next 50 years if built. It's irreversible mistake.
@Samaritan I don't know if parody but that's Trump level of retardation.
He said freon hair spray (which is already banned in Europe for decades but I guess USA is degenerate) is OK because he only uses it indoors.
As if fucking Earth hemispheres are separated from each other.
Air pollution in Europe isn't going to be affected by smoke stacks in China I live in Australia a lot closer to China and the air here is fine
Now you are right that it would be cheaper to avoid then to cleanup
Okay. I'm discussing with utter retards.
So ocean water circulates via huge currents but the winds don't exist. CO2 in southern hemisphere will stay there forever and what's produced by China stays in China.
"Air here is fine". Well, you don't quite understand that CO2 is not related to "air quality". You don't see or smell it. It's not smog.
It disperses until a certain concentration and that isn't taking into account it not staying in the atmo and settling
The atmosphere is a very big place
Polluting it sufficiently is comparable to filling equally a big space devoid of oxygen with oxygen eg fucking hard
CO2 doesn't "settle" on the ground.
Sure it can be done but it'd take like hundreds of years
Carbon would be heavier then air no?
Carbon **DIOXIDE** you retard!
It's a **GAS**.
It's not coal particles you fucking faggot.
Well we where talking about burning coal nibba
And filtering it and the such
and heavier than O2
Burning coal produces CO2, not floating coal particles.
@leavethisbotnet Gas heavier than nitrogen still doesn't "settle" on the ground. It will stay in the atmosphere.
He's got a point in that CO2 is heavier than majority of our atmosphere
It stays towards the bottom of the atmosphere
If you argue that CO2 settles in lower atmosphere, that isn't really helpful. It won't settle on the ground.
I mean volcanic ash and nuclear ash doesn't settle right away but eventually it does was what I was thinking
Also by that logic @leavethisbotnet
We're actually going to be fucked sooner
Volcanic ash is not same as CO2.
Because it'll compile at the bottom while the clean air is above
And we'll all asphyxiate and die imao
Volcanic ash can be an asshole if if there's enough of it.
Afaik most of northern hemisphere basically skipped one summer in the 5th century AD, because of volcanic eruption.
Like how high is the atmosphere because if the bottom 10% was a heavier then air non breathable gas we'd all die sine we live at ground level
Also from a meta perspective
Africa should be able to use as much coal as they like since technology is going so fast I don't think they'll be able to use it for long anyway
I mean remember no planes 100 years ago and now we have super sonic jets and space flight
The thing with that is, centralized power requires more infrastructure.
