presented in [3] and [7] showed that a spark plug with fine center and ground electrodes produced lower
combustion variation with a reduction of approximately 3.1 % in COV and 2.4 % in the
fuel consumption compared to regular spark plugs.
Based on projected world energy requirements, the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (1956) has estimated an amount of fossil
fuel combustion by the year 2000 that with our assumed partitions would give about a 25 percent increase in atmospheric CO2, compared to the amount
present during the 19th Century.

I know that the
present Australian government considers rain to be a pollutant, like CO2, hence our upcoming carbon tax, that will seek to phase out all
combustion of fossil
fuels (which generally produce CO2 to H2O in ratios between 2:1 or close to 1:1).
