18% deaths across the globe caused due to fossil fuel air pollution every year
New research from Harvard University and 3 British universities has concluded that upwards of 8 million people die each year across the globe from breathing polluted air containing particles from fossil fuel emissions. This huge figure is nearly one in five of all deaths in 2018. Exposure to particulate matter from the burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil made up 18% of global deaths in 2018.
Want people to stop dying from air pollution? Stop buying from china where they burn dirty coal without scrubbers. That includes stuff like iPhones.
Cause: massive corporations running huge operations. Deregulated, because people want jobs so much. So, the obvious solution is for citizens to save tiny bit of pollution, so the big corps can keep raking in money, obviously. /s
I know when i went to Beijing for work a few years back i have never seen pollution like it, no insects or birds and smog so thick you could see it inside the hotel rooms. It was hard to breath, its horrible. It can't be good for you.
And the biggest offenders is China, but they'll be exempted from the intiatives that we have to abide by and pay for.
Funny how when done place like harvard posts something with less than half the facts, the whole world believes them. I call bull feces!
How many millions would die without oil products. most fertilizer and the power that runs farms that feeds world comes from oil.
99% of it comes from China
When will they start limiting air travel? How many big ass jets are flying around the globe at the same time every day?
But, but, muh covid!!!!!
"Greta Thunberg where are you now?!"
86% of studies are 63% accurate 74% of the time.
Yet, I still here everyday about how nuclear power is too dangerous.
Sounds like B.S !
Like the chem trails they spray on us has nothing to do with it.
73.6 percent of statistic are made up. Dont believe me? https://www.businessinsider.com/736-of-all-statistics-are-made-up-2010-2?op=1 Lmaooo
Well the study does go over the increased ability for scientists to measure particulates in the air, which I found interesting, yet the sensational bit about mortality seems to be based wholly on predictive modeling instead of a direct comparison of health outcomes. Quite simply, the accuracy regarding the connection between mortality and the particulates deemed pollution is rather tenuous in my opinion, especially as I looked more into the model being used. Of course, air pollution is an issue that communities can seek to resolve, regardless of how many people it is directly harming or not.
