It doesn't exhaust carbon dioxide. -global warming prevention (but for it’s
poisonous)
Let's correctly understand

What is standard value…?
The answer is… standard value = predictive value
There is no answers so I can’t produce my suggestion.
I realized myself who cannot believe the info from government and media.
I thought we have to see the info more critically.
This problem is so difficult that I think I have to keep studying to avoid the next accident like this one
