Let us begin with the following scientific "averment of fact." It can serve as a bench mark and a reference point ... simply for comparison purposes ... to the radiative forcing of the often-mentioned greenhouse gases. The measurements here were done in terms of Watts per Square Meter.
Next comes the following statistic:
Below is the Coal Pollutant List
Now, CO2 is a life-giving compound that only becomes life-threatening under concentrations higher than is naturally capable to occur in the Earth's atmosphere.
There are cavern systems where the concentration of CO2 reached above 5,000 parts per million. Such a concentration will render you ill, but it won't kill you.
It takes 80,000 ppm to die after an hour of CO2 exposure, as well as 100,000 ppm, to die in perhaps 15 minutes. Thus, CO2 is omitted from the coal pollutant chart below.
Oh, by the way, you can die from drinking too much water, and water is a necessity for human and mammalian life. Six liters of water consumed by a single human being in three hours of time has caused death.
One more important fact: Asphalt is the ultimate retainer of heat on Earth, due to the fact that its albedo is only 5%. This means that it absorbs 95% of the sunlight and solar heat which makes contact with it. Such a thing is NOT based on any greenhouse gas. It's based on the ability to absorb or reflect ultraviolet light.
Now for the analysis at hand: The packet of facts below are stated as "aside of the environmental assault on Planet Earth being caused by the non-filtration of many coal-fired power plants in India and COMMUNIST China."
That is to say, the packet of information below applies in all cases where there are not 1,446+ coal-fired power plants irresponsibly unleashing outrageously high amounts of CO2, notable amounts of the always-toxic SO2, and the Fly Ash which poses a danger to respiratory tracts everywhere, as is explained in the following tutorial:
All in all, the packet of statistics immediately below here applies in the human thought process as Ceteris Paribus ... in any circumstance "except for the circumstance created by 1,446+ coal-fired power plants in Asia which have either no filtration system at all or an insufficient one, at best." Let us begin:
Instead of placing your focus on CO2 which occupies less than 1/2 of 1/10th of 1% of the atmosphere and which has a much lower radiative forcing rate than previously advertised, at 2.17 to 2.2 w/m2, as is illustrated below ... 
... and instead of placing your focus on methane which only exists at 1.94 parts per million in the atmosphere and which has a negligible radiative forcing, as is explained below ...
... and instead of focusing on nitrous oxide which only exists at 1/3 of one part per million in the atmosphere and which also has a negligible radiative forcing, as is shown below ...
... concentrate instead on CFCs, even though they only occupy the atmosphere at 4 parts per billion. They do not degrade ... dissolve ... for 55 to 140 years. Moreover, each one's global-warming-potential exceeds CO2's potential by thousands of times:
Definitely concentrate on curtailing SF6 which won't disintegrate for 3,200 years. Meanwhile, do NOT waste your time on methane, because it's chump change, in terms of its very low radiative forcing, and its low presence in the Earth's atmosphere.
Keep the cattle alive. Live and let live. They're not hurting you.
The Number 1 sign of a climate charlatan who knows little-to-nothing about Atmospheric Science is that of him/her ranting & raving over having to get rid of methane from the atmosphere, even to the point of him/her encouraging the killing of all the cattle on earth. Well, methane is hardly in the atmosphere, in the first place.
Chloroflourocarbons need to be kept on a leash. SF6 must be banned asap ... with maybe with a few heavily monitored industrial exceptions. But, it must be extremely monitored. Period.
Now for the Irony of it all
Carbon Dioxide is presented all throughout society as the ultimate cause of Global WARMING. Yet, Carbon Dioxide is a REFRIGERANT. How ironic!!!
The added irony: Cirrus Clouds are well known for their ability to capture infrared light far more effectively than CO2. Well, the heat-retainer cirrus clouds are ice crystals. Go figure.
In re: Ozone, something that ultraviolet light can replenish
Ozone can easily be restored by something as simple as ultraviolet light. And of course, the hole in the Ozone was cited to be located directly over Antarctica. The problem is that Antarctica has to wait six months at a time, for the ultraviolet light to reach into the Stratosphere above and eventually onto Earth's Surface below. The 6 months of night explains why the hole in the Ozone Layer was over Antarctica.
The other problem is that ozone is a respiratory toxicant. It's place is in the Stratosphere. When too much of it descends to the Earth's surface, people start fighting to breathe. And of course, if you are not breathing, then you are dying.
CO2 ... not the monster Gore made it out to be ... HOWEVER ...
... when it comes to the rate of increase in the atmosphere of any molecule in the atmosphere, intervention is needed when the increase is rapid and ongoing. When it comes to coal, there is also the matter of Fly Ash and Sulfur Dioxide being unleashed into the atmosphere, by Indian and Chinese coal-burning power plants.
Now, Bill Gates wanted or still wants to cast sulfur dioxide throughout the Stratosphere, to serve as a widespread aerosol and create global cooling.
Well, Bill ... Well, Mr Gates, sir ... or his assistants out there ... China and India are unleashing more than enough Sulfur Dioxide into the atmosphere, already. They are doing your homework for you. They are unleashing SO2 quantities above & beyond what anyone would reasonably advocate. So, you can now dedicate your time to getting filtration systems for these Asian coal power stations.
Asia's Unfiltered Coal-fired Sabotage
As a note: You perhaps have heard the phrase, Clean Coal. Well, that applies to Anthracite Coal, and the USA has very little Anthracite Coal remaining. The three other types of coal need robust filtration. So, instead of using the phrase, Clean Coal, you have to use the phrase "Filtered Coal" or "double filtered coal."
Firstly, the coal with the lowest amount of carbon is the most toxic type of coal.
Below: The USA simply doesn't have the anthracite desired or needed.
The only problem with CO2 today is that India & China are now unleashing inordinate amounts of it with rapidity, through their coal-fired power plants. So, high tech filtration there is needed ... for the sake of humanity, because the sky in India and China eventually becomes the sky in other parts of Planet Earth. Yes, SO2 and Fly Ash are molecular border crossers.
Below: China's Fly Ash
Below: China's Types of Coal in percentage
All in all, the COMMUNIST Chinese Party is well known for its dereliction of duty, concerning environmental decency. It's leaders are expected to continue to ignore every international agreement signed by the Chinese COMMUNISTS. Quick note, concerning the info below: GW stands for Gigawatts.
Yet, CO2 is NOT a toxin, and healthy people will have no problem with it at 2,000 ppm or less. Symptoms won't actually start until 3,500 ppm, and those are neurological symptoms.
In fact, the OSHA Permissible Level for CO2 is 5,000 ppm ... for 8 hours of exposure. That's a 1/2 percent concentration in the airspace where the 5,000 ppm of CO2 is. That's an airspace where 99.5% of it is NOT CO2.
Now, at 80,000 ppm of CO2 ... at an 8% concentration ... after an hour of exposure, death comes to your doorstep. At a 10% concentration of CO2 ... at 100,000 ppm ... death is guaranteed.
Plus, 40,000, 20,000, and 10,000 will cause sickness. But, at present, Planet Earth's outdoor CO2 doesn't even occupy 1/10th of 1% of the atmosphere outside. It's 431 ppm, as of the Summer of 2026. That's 0.043% of the atmosphere.
China's & India's Coal-fired Power Plants:
Equal to the emissions of 23 mid-sized volcanoes per day
 |
| Note: China has 1,161 coal-fired power plants at present, in 2026 |
If the number of coal-fired power plants were not so high, then there would be no problem with co2 at present. CO2 at 431 ppm is fine. CO2 at 531 ppm would be fine, and CO2 at 631 ppm would be no problem, also. But, too much of anything unleashed into the atmosphere in such a short period of time is guaranteed to be trouble ... to health or to the environment or to both.
It's the rate ... the rapidity ... the constant unleashing which necessitates intervention. Does such a rapid influx of CO2 into the atmosphere trigger a feedback mechanism previous unsuspected?
All of that coal-fired pollution does NOT stay in Asia
Meanwhile, the unleashing of Sulfur Dioxide into the atmosphere from the same coal-fired power stations is beyond inconsiderate & intrusive to the skies over numerous nations. This is due to the rotation of the Earth, the Coriolis Effect, and the existence of opposing pressure systems in the atmosphere of Planet Earth by which that sky outside travels throughout the other parts of the Earth.
Does China and India should be using electrostatic precipitators. And as far as goes fly ash, is it let to fly throughout Asia and eventually elsewhere on Earth, or it is under control in Asia? Do they de-sulfurize the flue gas in Asia?
Remember, COMMUNIST China was environmentally irresponsible in the 1990s and in the turn of the Millennium. It was most certainly a disregarder of environmental norms.
As far as goes India today, read the following:
China Unfiltered which is not to be confused with China Uncensored.
None the less, concerning the many coal-fired power plants in China and India, filtration monitored by honest people in the World Community is needed. Maybe someone can reinvent the wheel, here, diplomatically or scientifically. You don't simply sit back and ignore it.
You can be as Draconian as you please to industries operated by Europe & the USA, concerning greenhouse gases in North America, South America, Europe, and Africa. But, if you don't filter the emissions from those 1,446+ recently built or re-established or ongoing coal-fired power plants in Asia, then the Earth's atmospheric CO2 level will reach runaway levels.
And then there is Fly Ash.
Synthetic Assault & Battery is very real to the human body ... as well as the emissions of all substances coming out of the 1,446+ coal-burning power plants in India and China:
Of course, aside from the 1,446+ coal-burning plants in Asia, the present environmental duty is that of ending the glut of synthetic chemicals that flood modern society.
This is due to those chemicals' ability ~to be hormone distruptors and to be ~clastogens (meaning that they cut chromosome chains), ~respiratory allergens, ~respiratory irritants, and ~dermal allergens, as well as being ~carcinogens ... and as incitants of other unfavorable things, like ~urticaria (hives). Those synthetic chems sabotage child development, also.
The glut of unbridled synthetic chemicals is the environmental scandal of today ... aside of the many unfiltered coal power stations in Asia. Synthetic Chemicals have been assault & battery on certain types of asthma and Reactive Airways Dysfunction Syndrome patients, as well as dermatitis patients, urticaria patients, patients having hormone-related ills, and people who don't want their chromosomes severed by chemicals.
It's also an affront on those who really don't want to eventually develop cancer. The corralling of the vast inventory of synthetic chemicals is a present-tense duty.
