All that oil was set to be burned anyway... and 19-ish drones couldnt set off anywhere close to the number of wells as Kuwait when Iraq burned them on purpose

be cleaned up. All the various particulates and gases are going directly into the air. Should have bad effects locally at least.

But its still incredibly tiny compared to all the coal gas and oil burned every day.
Environmentally bad... but negligible on a climate basis.
