>The smoke you see may just be water vapor. Exactly. Good point. In fact, the water vapor is a far more serious greenhouse gas than is CO2 But there is, in fact, a serious atmospheric pollution problem in many places eg China, Iran, where people walk around with face masks and the incidence of pulmonary disease eg asthma, COPD, is very high. Perhaps I should say, higher than in other places where it is already high. And I'm not talking about plastic waste in the oceans etc which is another story entirely and about which very little is being done by governments. In fact, it's a great pity that there is so little public agitation about this because if unstopped, the plastic in the oceans will actually destroy marine life.
