So, is it time to halt most immigration to help slow our population growth or is our planet irrelevant when it comes to being fair?

Then why is the ocean in trouble with plastic everywhere and the Pacific with nuclear radiation? Why did Los Angeles implement air quality standards in the 90s? Why are all our rivers polluted? Did god do it?

Yup. 400 PPM. It hasn't been this high in millions of years, before humans existed. And 400 ppm is a danger line. The planet now goes into a pattern that guarantees it will go higher.

At many points in history almost the entire planet was on fire. As far as we can tell.

the real reason is that dupont held the patents for R12, and they were running out. and since the government would not extend the patents on R12, dupont developed R134a so they could continue to make huge amounts of money in their refrigerant division. dupont also got the government to make the production of R12 illegal in this country. R12 is still made in other countries by the way, including india and mexico.
This is your brain on Alex Jones.
