Oil and gas air pollution linked to 91,000 early deaths in the US each year

Air pollution from oil and gas is causing 91,000 premature deaths and hundreds of thousands of health issues across the United States annually, with Black, Asian, Native American and Hispanic groups consistently the most affected, finds a major new study led by researchers at UCL and the...

Now this is a good reason to ban fossil fuels and go nuclear, solar, wind and fusion.

You are born, shit happens, you die.
Cancer, heart disease, diabetes, tobacco abuse, alcohol abuse, and medical malpractice each kill far more than your pollution claim.
Nukes are a good idea.
Nobody has yet to generate a sustainable fusion reaction.
Relying on solar will freeze more people to death in a winter than hydrocarbon pollution will kill in a year.
As far as wind goes, in the immortal words of Tommy Norris
“if Exxon thought them ******* things [windmills] were the future, they’d be putting them all over the goddamn place.”

Wait until the pfas lawsuits start. Better get them corporate lawyers going.

Thanks to my country for supplying the above.

Human Lab Mice

The oncologists, because of their brain-draining education, aren't smart enough to cure cancer, even after suckers gave them billions to do so. What makes us think they know what causes it? Mental inferiority in ability to cure implies the same fraud in their attacks on the victims' lifestyles.

I think it’s idiotic to demonize fossil fuels.

Industrial chemicals are surely incredibly harmful to living cells. There should never be a "well thats just the price we pay" mentality. Thats the definition of brain dead.

Gosh at the dawn of the oil age, average life span was around 45 (1890), now it is around 79 years (2023).

We greatly suffered upward by only 34 years, why are you this foolish?

In the process of burning oil products has greatly increased greening of the world too.

Oil and gas production increased to build the largest project in human history, that would be solar and wind energy

Smoke Offends WOKE

Never meet the enemies of human progress halfway. Double down and agree with the Sage that auto emissions actually wipe out harmful bacteria, viruses, and insects, which "Clean" Air is saturated with.

Smokestacks are a clear sign of regression.

Industry can do their thing without 1 ounce of waste. That is a fact irrefutable.

What an absurd statement since there is no such as 100% efficiency in anything as there is friction and loss over time and distance.

This is why our computers have fans in them to carry off heat generated by electrical flow to prevent overheating it is why they install super computers in cold rooms to handle the heat waste.

It costs zero to do thi gs environmentslly safe. Thats the point.

To get it you have to spend a lot of money, who pays you to be this stupid?

Asking the same for you.

Again you offer no rebuttal.......

The difference is that I actually bring up reality with FRICTION and TIME using computers as example while you don't post anything of substance at all thus you post nothing of value to the conversation.

I made post 4 showing that far more people dies due to smoking and drinking by far than to gas and oil yet YOU and Hurricane lover ignored it because that greatly weakens your foolish anti gas and oil attack and at Post 29 shows that BECAUSE of the use of Gas and Oil our average life span greatly increased by several decades.

Loss of 650,000 lives per year by personal choice of using the substances versus a claimed 91,000 deaths/year to pollution using a product that have greatly improved our wealth and longevity for more than 100 years.
