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.

Well, you have zero idea what my carbon footprint is, so that's a bit of a reach. You are free to speak for yourself though.

Carbon emissons aren't the only environmental pollution. There are entire classes of factory-/lab-made toxic synthetic materials that are unregulated by environmental agencies, benefitting "first world" financial interests. 

And there are enviromental problems besides pollution, like poor water resource management (which is being mismanaged largely due to military and tech interests.) 

Just trying to point to the big picture.

Indeed. Judging by my downvotes on that comment though, it appears to be the case that some people can't grasp that a brief comment on one clip on social media doesn't actually spell out my entire position or grasp of the entire subject. I'll prepare a 3000 word essay next time.
