Hardly. Maybe a decade's worth of greenhouse gas reductions that could be attributed to that one particular factory or industrial facility, depending on what it is. A decade's worth of greenhouse gas reductions, undone within hours in this fire—but only for that one facility.
The dark smoke isn't carbon dioxide, It's carbon particles or soot. It's not a greenhouse gas that warms the atmosphere by trapping the energy of sunlight, like carbon dioxide.
Without knowing more about the facility or what is actually on fire, it would only be speculation as to the greenhouse effect, but it's not from the dark smoke that is billowing in such a conspicuous way.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 04-12-2023).]

And yet, nothing has changed...
Why?
Because there's nothing wrong to change.
Exactly like the SCAMdemic, there's no there, there.

Nothing has changed?
| quote | A study published Monday in Nature Communications is the latest of several recent reports to detail the rapid rise of sea levels in the southern U.S., which is happening faster than scientists previously realized and has also intensified hurricane damage in coastal cities.
Scientists from institutions including Tulane University and the National Oceanography Center in the United Kingdom wrote in the study that "mean sea level acceleration" in the U.S. Southeast and Gulf coasts has led to a rate of increase of more than 10 millimeters, or one centimeter, per year since 2010—a rate that is "unprecedented in at least 120 years."
That finding bolstered a study published last month in the Journal of Climate by Jianjun Yin at the University of Arizona, who found that sea level changed by a total of nearly five inches in the region from 2010-2022—more than double the global mean sea level acceleration rate, according toThe Washington Post, which called the rapid sea level rise "abnormal and dramatic."
Scientists who have studied the phenomenon recently say that the warming of the Gulf of Mexico, which is happening much faster than in oceans across the globe, is causing sea levels to rise in the area as the water expands with heat and gets carried out of the gulf into the Atlantic Ocean. . . .
The trend in the region has so far only been detected for about 12 years, but with global sea levels rising steadily—a pattern scientists have warned will continue especially as long as fossil fuel extraction and greenhouse gas emissions persist—Sönke Dangendorf of the Nature Communications study said the research provides "a window into the future."
The rate of acceleration is close to what scientists expected from sea level rise towards "the end of the century in a very high greenhouse gas emissions scenario," the Post reported.
Rep. Sean Casten (D-Ill.) tweeted that the new research shows the likely short-term impact of continued planetary heating and sea level rise, following a report released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) last year which warned ocean levels along U.S. coastlines will rise by an average of 10 to 12 inches by 2050—and that Gulf Coast communities can expect an increase of 14 to 18 inches.
"The implication is that a home purchased today in Pensacola will be underwater before the mortgage is paid off," said Casten. "This is so scary." |

Maybe the "people" should have a look for themselves. Who knows about "the lazy left", or about "pseudoscience", when it comes from the same forum member who tried to fob off this specimen of unvarnished stupidity as if it were a relevant scientific observation. (It's not.)
