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.


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 ...

it is hard to be super accurate when it comes to knowing how many people die each year, but an estimate made in 2017 stated about 54 million. not that far from the 40 million and who knows who is more accurate.

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?

god, you are a dumbass. if we moved from carbon based fuel for cars that would probably be enough. we can do that if we try.

And use what? We create more, and more deadly toxins manufacturing e-car batteries than fossil fuels ever could.

What the "Big Solution'?

Let us speak in some generalities ... the difference between 2017 and 2018 is 14 million and that to me is a long way away. Plus we are talking about the year prior AND the fact that the world population is INCREASING. That 14 million is about one third of the 40 million the geeks are talking about. Even twisted statistics has trouble with that much of a variance. Plus the geeks say 5 million a year ... and a 14 million difference in death rates (I do agree with you about the absolute accuracy of world wide totals) ... but these numbers that the geeks are reporting appear to come straight from the dimlib spin machine.

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.

Of course they have/will and I knew it would throw them a curve and they would not be able to resist, which would once again expose them for the anti-science anti-life tools, shills and trolls that they are.

China, the next lone Superpower, does not have to follow the rules because they are considered a developing nation.

THis is insanity folks.

Buckle Up.

Hmmm ... I quoted the OP article ... and used YOUR numbers ... Is that enought SOURCE for you.

There are plenty of studies/reports that showed how our shared atmosphere cleared last year during the pandemic when far fewer ppl were driving. But yeah sure, animal dung.

BULLSHIT

Yes, bullshit is animal dung. Very good, Billy! Here's your purple star! Now go ask your dog to read this to you.

"‘A 7% drop – we’ve never seen this since world war two,’ says Corinne Le Quéré, professor of climate change science at the University of East Anglia, UK. Le Quéré is talking about an unprecedented global decrease in carbon emissions in modern times, the result of the coronavirus pandemic.1 The data Le Quéré and other atmospheric scientists have gathered over the last year are both shocking and insightful. They show a world that was profoundly altered by a virus that has killed more than 2.5 million people to date, while giving a glimpse of what a future with cleaner air might look like – one that could save many lives."

wow, somebody stupid enough to try to call any other person in the world a punk ass bitch when they want to have Trump's baby!! and trump is the biggest, fattest, creampuff bitch in the world! just how much do you fantasize about trump grabbing your pussy without asking, little bitch?

You seem to be having a bad day. Ever tried doubling up on your therapy sessions?

[Lionfish]

biden is not importing any more oil than trump, stupid fuck. good god, you really think the president orders how much oil we import or not import each year, you silly piece of shit?

oil importation took a nose dive during Obama's terms and has continued-

Maybe instead of screeching and stamping your feet, you would make yourself look smarter by taking a course in reading comprehension.


The post was, "Does Biden's imported oil pollute less than domestic oil?"

Have a better day than your obvious tantrum filled Wednesday.

what the fuck do you know? do you have a source that shows it or are you just talking out your ass?

the point is that one source claimed 55 million deaths worldwide. how do we know that is more accurate than 40 million?
