What if the problem isn't "improper combustion" or "wrong fuel" or "excess emissions", but simply the fact that we are burning things at all?

They say new diesels are better than the old ones.

No. They still pollute, and they are DEAFENING compared to the old ones.

Let's stop this madness and electrify everything.

Electrification is the future. Combustion isn't.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people linearize things that aren't linear.

For example:

"More clean" (you can't make a clean thing cleaner)

"More perfect" (ring a bell? So to speak) (you can't make something more perfect if it already is)

I wish people would stop doing that.

"At present, the only means of effectively eliminating health risk associated with indoor exposure is to ban smoking activity."

Just like with wood burning and other combustion devices - the only way to make combustion safe is to stop doing it!

Notice how the word "ethical" is missing though.
