Air pollution is a big deal. Personally I wish we could go back to before the Industrial Revolution and back to clean air and 37 year life expectancies. Might make the beach less crowded.

5.5 million people die of air pollution a year. If you don't think that is a big deal may God have mercy on your souls

So 4.3 million of those 5.5 million deaths are from indoor pollution, eh?
You really are one stupid mother fricker, Pbhog.
We should really do something about those greedy poor people trying to feed themselves and heat their homes, right? Punish the frick out of them, right?

How many of those 80,000 sucked on cancer sticks and have emphysema as a consequence? Probably not an insignificant amount. They contributed more to their mortality than the air pollution.
I agree that we have a responsibility to protect our environment - you have no argument from me there. What I abhor is the misuse of statistics and science to create alarmism to further one's agenda. That is a disgusting tactic employed all too often by progressives to foment populism.

You seem to have run out of intelligent things you say already. I'll entertain you though explain the 80,000 Americans die from indoor pollution a year.

5.5 million people a year dying from air pollution so create alarmism in anybody. Do you believe in climate change?.

You really aren't intelligent enough to realize how many American homes in the Northeast are heated with wood, coal, or oil, are you?

People dying from cigarette smoke is different from dying from air pollution

Depends on how you define climate change. It's convenient to leave something vague in order to create straw men arguments.
Yes - I think something should be done. But what? How are you going to force a sovereign nation to change? You have any specific proposals since you started this thread?

Just a bunch of 3rd worlders. Too many of 'em anyway. Need for about 4 billion of them to go. Make more room for civilized westerners.

So you've completely ignored this?

In a self contained system, gains in one area require losses in another.

I started to respond to that amazing little choo choo of thought, but I realized this would be more appropriate:

Your article is about people dying from pollution by greedy corporations. Not about whether there is pollution in the world.
Everybody has seen the pictures of the pollution in China. That isn't what the article is about though.
