    Default Fossil fuel air pollution responsible for 1 in 5 deaths worldwide

    New research from Harvard University, in collaboration with the University of Birmingham, the University of Leicester and University College London, found that more than 8 million people died in 2018 from fossil fuel pollution, significantly higher than previous research suggested—meaning that air pollution from burning fossil fuels like coal and diesel was responsible for about 1 in 5 deaths worldwide.

    The study, “Global Mortality From Outdoor Fine Particle Pollution Generated by Fossil Fuel Combustion,” published in Environmental Research, is based on a groundbreaking analysis that enabled the researchers to directly attribute premature deaths from fine particulate pollution (PM 2.5) to fossil fuel combustion.

    “Often, when we discuss the dangers of fossil fuel combustion, it’s in the context of CO2 and climate change and overlook the potential health impact of the pollutants co-emitted with greenhouse gases,” said Dr. Joel Schwartz, Professor at Harvard Chan School and co-author of the study. “We hope that by quantifying the health consequences of fossil fuel combustion, we can send a clear message to policymakers and stakeholders of the benefits of a transition to alternative energy sources.”

    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    Yeah- but think of all those polluting billionaires- and their shareholders- taking a dip in income.

    Does Biden's imported oil pollute less than domestic oil?

    If Heather looks it over and decides that it looks Kosher then I will take it seriously.

    She is really good at spotting fraud "science".

    There is so much of that now.

    Not too surprising. It will be interesting to see if any of our resident Reichtards respond to this as they do to any post about mitigating climate change.

    wow ... one in five ... using core math we find that in 2018 only 40 million people died ... wow ... and that is from all over the world. I wonder how those bedouin camel folks feel about that ... or those pigmy's in the amazon basin ... or the horse folks in mongolia ... or the fishermen in the fiji islands ... or ____

    Yep ... the high and mighty college geeks are at it again ...

    No mention of animal dung and wood fires in Africa and Asia I notice. That's a huge killer in the Third World, maybe some of virtual signalling SJWs on here could donate their wifi enabled BBQs?
