    This is a suspiciously nice side effect.

    I’m very anti-war, but whenever a wide swath of the airline industry has had to shut down, like in 2008 and 2020, it has historically translated to dramatically lower air pollution numbers.

        And water. There have been a number of oil spills from ship attacks.

      Was ist just temporary, or long term? Because last I heard air travel is on an all time maximum no?

        Drops in pollution are always temporary. The Epstein Class is insulated from the effects of their industrializing.

        Side effect of having, basically, a wholly capitalist planet.

          Cool, a few weeks less pollution, more in the long run. I don’t really see why that is a good thing

      Less oil in the market means less of it is available to burn and convert into CO2.

      Not suspicious, serendipitous!
