Where Will All This Clean Air Come From?
The government of France ordered new CO2 standards for school classrooms, because high CO2 levels not only indicate low air exchange but also high COVID levels.
“The thing about cleaner indoor air is that it works on any variant and any airborne disease; it helps against pollution; it helps against all kinds of things. And it doesn’t take away anyone’s freedoms.”
“Safe air, provided by technologies developed and implemented by mechanical engineers, will stop COVID-19 and its mutations, as well as colds, flus, and other airborne diseases,” he wrote. “But first we will have to make a conscious decision to build them.”
Until then, don’t expect this pandemic to end, let alone fade away. |Source: The Tyee https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2023/01/11/Revolution-Clean-Indoor-Air/|
Carbon dioxide (CO2): Fossil fuel use is the primary source of CO2. CO2 can also be emitted from direct human-induced impacts on forestry and other land use, such as through deforestation, land clearing for agriculture, and degradation of soils. Likewise, land can also remove CO2 from the atmosphere through reforestation, improvement of soils, and other activities.
Global carbon emissions from fossil fuels have significantly increased since 1900. Since 1970, CO2 emissions have increased by about 90%, with emissions from fossil fuel combustion and industrial processes contributing about 78% of the total greenhouse gas emissions increase from 1970 to 2011. Agriculture, deforestation, and other land-use changes have been the second-largest contributors. |Source: EPA https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/global-greenhouse-gas-emissions-data|
With 90% of our air polluted on a global scale, it’s going to make having clean air an impossible task for a lot of the world population

Rahim Mohamed: DeSantis, not Trump, is a sign of things to come for Canada: In his year-end column for The Line,
Ken Boessenkool predicted that America’s “Trumpian sickness” will
continue to flare up unpredictably in Canada this year, potentially even
engulfing our entire body politic.
Observing that Canadian
political trends lag roughly five years behind developments stateside,
Boessenkool cautioned that the new year could bring with it the advent
of Canada’s very own Trumpian era; seeing shades of Trump’s “politics of
institutional destruction and anger fomentation” in Alberta Premier
Danielle Smith and, to a lesser extent, federal Conservative party
leader Pierre Poilievre.
