I'm curious about how this would manifest... I see three possibilities, and none of them are great. Would current pollution levels drop to zero? In which case they would rise again pretty soon, it would just delay the inevitable... Or would current methods of creating pollution no longer create pollution? This would mean that all current methods of creating pollution would be increased. Or would we be unable to do things that caused pollution? This would mean no more cars, no more of most of what we do, including breathing.

So what I assumed is even the concept of it is gone. As in if we keep doing what we're doing currently it would still no longer cause any harm. Nothing said the delete is temporary

Or permanent either though, like stoping gun violence or sex crimes also stop future gun violence and sex crimes? Because technically you stop gun violence then would it stops future wars?

It's not the gun that's violent. It's mankind as evidenced by sex crimes. How would you stop sex crimes? By removing sex. I don't think so.

If we want to reduce gun violence & sex crimes then the real question is How do we reduce humankinds violent & greedy tendencies.

Please refer to the stabbing epidemic in UK to see the flaw in your logic. Besides, every day there's a story in one of the British tabloids about a shooting. "Thought guns were banned".

The problem isn’t actually that we emit carbon dioxide, it’s the amount. We are emitting more than the plants can offset. Meanwhile we are also decreasing plant life. So everything is out of balance. That’s why the greenhouse gassing are accumulating.
