   @lightweight There is no "CO₂ budget" - unless an individual does something like insane amounts of arson, the amount of CO₂ an individual can release is negligible - this include fireworks.
   
   The real driver of CO₂ emissions is businesses - they are the ones who actually emit the huge amounts of CO₂ with their needlessly wasteful activities, just because they can, or because they think that doing so will be profitable.

     Personal fireworks are a lot like Jetskis. Yeah, they're moderately fun for those using them - with fun seeming to be inversely proportional to intellect... but annoying to pretty much everyone else and without any practical utility. They're just a pointless and fairly dangerous (for the user and innocent bystanders as well) waste of our precious remaining carbon budget.

     There. I've said it.
