The Sacramento valley used to be horrible in the 80s due to annual burning of post-harvest rice fields. Kids with asthma were actively running in school PE in forest-fire-like air. Things have improved!
Oh, I don’t know. Our rivers no longer catch on fire and our air is far less poisonous than it used to be, even in smog bowls like Los Angeles. And I think those are good things.
If there’s no shale gas then there’s no shale gas, but I still think environmentalism is basically bad and politicians should focus more on material prosperity.

Cue a race between Russia, China and the US to who tests a nuke first. Who knows who else will join the party. Worst idea ever.

Found out today that by using millisecond pulsars as your reference points, you can determine your position in the galaxy down to 7km or less, which is frankly a ridiculous degree of accuracy on the cosmic scale #PSETI2025
