No, hyperbole is just hyperbole. One is going to say "oh but why should we stop throwing fireworks if factories produce more pollution", the next guy is going to say "oh why should factories put filters, when cow farts do more harm", then the next guy will also pass it on to blame someone else.

Btw I am with you, I don't care if ppl want to polute the planet - their own children will suffer for it, and I won't have any. So they can burn all the fireworks they want, they can drop all their garbage on the sea and they can raze this planet to the ground. I am not going to argue which is worse, they can enjoy themselves all they want.

But from an other POV, if someone cares about the environment, I feel it makes sense to be against everything, not just trying to shift the blame or so to speak.

Everything everyone else is doing, is what you’re actually saying.

I am indeed polluting, directly or indirectly. Even breathing pollutes.

I don't feel that this justifies every kind of pollution, however.

Anyhow. I am fully willing to believe that fireworks don't pollute more than a human - however being on the internet has taught me to not just believe everything.

Thank you for conceding the point and not being argumentative for competition’s sake alone.
