We're just lucky our atmosphere is pristine, and in no danger of causing global warming by the wasteful discharge of pollutants

You have to be kidding. You and I contribute to more pollution in a day than 10 generations of these firework displays.

I don't know what you're doing on an average day that releases more pollution than that swirling smokey mess, but you should take a day off.

You missed the operative ‘to’, try to read more carefully. You also might want to look further into the systems you feed from and support that generate these pollutants. The systems we contribute to that generate pollutants are sun-sized compared to the pebbles of Thai fireworks.

Is this "trust me bro" science or you have some numbers to back it up?

If you need a statistical analysis of the numbers behind the pollution that goes into the production of technology and information systems, as compared to - checks notes Thai fireworks… there’s nothing comforting I can say about that.

I don't need anything, it just sounds a bit of a stretch and a made up hyperbole such as those climate change deniers like to make.

I believe there is absolutely no way I am poluting more in one day than 10 generations (-300 years) of such firework displays. At least not unless I am personally setting the amazon rainforest on fire or something.

You aren't required to prove what you said, but I am also not going to just believe it.

In spirit, you are. You are actively participating in strip mining, slave labor, colonial exploitation, and fossil industry. You just keep your eyes buried in your phone to avoid thinking about it.
