Which is nonsense. There's plenty of pollution that's been diluted as much as it possibly can be and is still problematic. CO2 is an obvious example. Or consider leaded gasoline or mercury. You have to be careful not to eat too much fish or you'll have trouble with the mercury in it. That's been diluted by the entire ocean and that didn't solve it.

uh, that’s nonsense.

co2 is problematic because of concentration - the sheer volume.

leaded gas and mercury are a problem because of bio-concentration.

dilution still helps!

Of course it helps, but where are you going to dilute more co2 these days?

that is exactly the issue. still worse 6” from the tailpipe.

bulk volume is a different problem from concentration

when people suffocate in the fire from CO2 - that's concentration

and dilution helps people to not literally die from that

global warming due to CO2 levels everywhere is entirely different problem. (and if we could dilute CO2 into the space, it would also be solved, lol)

They meant "to not get caught, we just dilute".

also, i don't necessarily mean to endorse this worldview in terms of its potential impact on policy, though there may be some truth to it, technically speaking.

If we all just get a little cancer instead of some people getting a LOT of cancer then Amazon will be able to power its robot factories!
