4)Car fumes will be wiped out completely, changed for solar and battery power
Did you know that watches, Clocks etc..are run by ruby quartz?
just noticed the Weather is CrAzY
Sure... and amount of CO2 in atmosphere has increased 50% just by itself after industrial revolution.

Hell animal farts account for more methane than all human tech and a single volcanic eruption puts more co2 in the air than all the worlds cars combined.

As a long-term average, volcanism produces about 5X10^11 kg of CO2 per year...
Current fossil fuel and land use practices now introduce about a (net) 17.6X10^12 kg of CO2 into the atmosphere...
Hence, volcanism produces about 3% of the total CO2 with the other 97% coming from man-made sources.

Scientists have calculated that volcanoes emit between about 130-230 million tonnes (145-255 million tons) of CO2 into the atmosphere every year (Gerlach, 1999, 1992). This estimate includes both subaerial and submarine volcanoes, about in equal amounts. Emissions of CO2 by human activities, including fossil fuel burning, cement production, and gas flaring, amount to about 22 billion tonnes per year (24 billion tons). Human activities release more than 150 times the amount of CO2 emitted by volcanoes--the equivalent of nearly 17,000 additional volcanoes like Kilauea (Kilauea emits about 13.2 million tonnes/year)!

Of course, those problems [nuclear power problems] aren't nearly as bad as those with hydrocarbons, and can be implemented a lot more cost-effectively.

But when we burn hydrocarbons we can't avoid global warning, no matter how carefully we engineer our power plants.
