Lol, do they actually have fireworks in every match?

That's incredibly cringe. Well the whole thing about singing the national anthem is cringe but the fireworks really makes it 10x worse.

Screw the environment. More CO2 please.

It's actually pretty easy to make carbon neutral fireworks, since it's only dependent on the energy put into the system and black powder historically used charcoal as it's fuel source which is renewable.

But that carbon wouldn't be in the air otherwise, so not good. Reduce, reuse, recycle.

Unless you're planting trees and then cutting them down to bury them, it absolutely would.

No, in that case, you're digging up carbon in trees, lighting it and putting it in the sky...

Only if it's virgin forest. I said it could be carbon neutral which would imply tree farming. The only way you can sequester carbon with trees is literally burying them.

This was an All-star game, not a normal match.

I think it's just an exhibition game with the best players in the league. Exhibition meaning not part of the normal season, but it's a special event.
