Wow ... the sky is soooo blue, no pollution

Just go outside (if you can) or look out your window to see the color of the sky, that maybe humans living today, have never seen before. I know after 9/11 the sky's cleared up for a short time because of restricted air travel, this time manufacturing and auto use down so pollution down, trifecta.

In the weather every day. I got used to looking at it during smokey times in the summer, i live near mountains.

Today was green 9 this morning, I think thats the best I have ever seen it. Maybe less cars, airplanes overhead, warmer so less people making fires.

the effects of contrails reducing global warming was apparent by blocking a small amount of UV. Now is a good time for scientists to re-calibrate their models.
