As Many Stay Home, L.A.’s Air Quality Is Better Than It’s Been in Decades

Los Angeles experienced the longest stretch of days of “good” air since at least 1980. The federal agency’s online data goes back no further, but one expert suspects that L.A.’s air hasn’t been this clean since around the time the United States entered the Second World War.

4. Maybe Mother Nature speaks in her own way

[question everything]

2. Also, seems that it was raining in the past few days, this, too, should clear the air

3. Climate change doesn't exist, right?

And even if it did there’s nothing we can do to prevent it, right?

Okay okay I’ll put the sarcasm thingie up.

5. Thanks for pix!

I can't for the life of me comprehend why this is not included in discussions about plans to "reopen," including mandates that workers who can must be able to continue working from home to reduce emissions. 😳🤯

7. Allow people to work from home where and when they can to combat climate change

Hopefully, that will be a lesson learned from this tragedy.
