While certainly being an issue, they are a far smaller problem than emissions of greenhouse gases by fossil power sources. It is a greenhouse gas itself, but most human emissions come from agriculture. Moreover, there are technologies to reduce the emission of NOx'es from burning processes.
- dredmorbius 3y agoFrom a global-warming perspective, NOx also has a fairly short residency-time, as I understand. Yes, it's an environmental concern for other reasons, but focusing on greenhouse considerations is fairly reasonable.
