Then, just like that, CO2 became the least of our problems.
Ecoterrorist commies.

"Doral Fire: Nearby Parks Close, Schools Impacted After EPA Report Shows ‘Unhealthy' Air Quality"
| quote | | Parks near the site of the energy plant fire in Doral were closed Friday as smoky conditions persisted days after the blaze broke out Residents near the plant were urged to stay indoors with their windows closed or wear masks if outside, and nearby schools were impacted by the fire, with one asking parents to pick their children up early, if possible The fire, which broke out Sunday [February 12], continued to burn 6 days later as firefighters continued to encounter challenges |

Where's the fire? Not in my eyes, chief, but at the Covanta Waste-to-Energy facility, which is the centerpiece of the Miami-Dade County Resources Recovery Facility.
Undated file photo of the Covanta Waste-to-Energy facility as it was "pre-fire", during Miami-Dade County's long-running Anteconflagration Era, which only drew to a close almost a week ago today.

The possibility cannot be ignored.

I don't see how these most recent freight train accidents and this fire at the Waste-to-Energy plant in Doral (Florida) make any sense as a conspiracy of eco-terrorists. What's it supposed to prove? How can this be framed to move public opinion or influence the EPA or some other part of the government?
Of the most recent freight train accidents, there's the big one, in Ohio, but the other very recent railroad accidents are small, in terms of any environmental impacts.
Here's some Copy-and-Paste:
| quote | | Federal data shows that on average, more than 1,000 train derailments happen each year. Most derailments do not cause extensive damage or result in injuries or deaths. There is nothing suspicious about three derailments being featured in news headlines in February, a railroad expert said. |
|
| quote | | From 1990 to 2021 there were an average of 1,705 train derailments per year, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics and Federal Railroad Administration. In 2021, there were 1,087 train derailments, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics.2 days ago |

There's a smorgasbord of substances and chemicals that are going (or have gone) into the atmosphere from the Ohio train wreck and the Florida energy plant fire. But if you were looking at a data plot of Greenhouse Gas Emissions vs Current Year to Date, you wouldn't be able to see the "bump" in the data from these specific and recent incidents, unless you looked with a magnifying glass. Even if the data were limited to Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Ohio, or from Florida, you'd still need a magnifying glass. So as far as any of this affecting the weather in some way, either in the short term or the long term, as part of some "climate change" conspiracy, it doesn't add up. Even if you throw in the Waste-to-Energy plant fire.
Not even close.

And that's why you will always be a tool.

"Would better regulations and equipment mandates have prevented the Ohio rail disaster?"
| quote | | Frequent derailments may signal a need for more rapid deployment of infrastructure investment, as well. |
|
| quote | Steven Ditmeyer, a former senior official at the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), told the Lever that existing safety measures could’ve lessened the impact of the disaster if they had been mandated. Electronically Controlled Pneumatic (ECP) breaks, which Norfolk Southern had previously promoted as having “the potential to reduce train stopping distances by as much as 60 percent over conventional air brake systems,” were later heavily lobbied against by Norfolk Southern’s own lobbyists.
“Would ECP brakes have reduced the severity of this accident? Yes,” Ditmeyer said. “The railroads will test new features. But once they are told they have to do it… they don’t want to spend the money.” |

I think there are a couple of RR people on this forum. It would be interesting to hear their thoughts.
From what I have read, it was a bearing failure.[This message has been edited by williegoat (edited 02-19-2023).]
