Millions of people around the world are dying from pollution

[Just AnotherPerson]

"To estimate the number of people who died from pollution-related causes, it looked at the effects of air pollution, or air contaminated with things like gases and the burning of wood, charcoal and coal; water pollution, which includes contamination by things like unhygienic sanitation; and workplace pollution,..."


I love your stories. I really do. Thank you for posting words rather than a link or a video with no comments.

Anytime 40 people collude to tell a storey one can bet there is a political agenda involved.

These people made up some numbers.

You mean like how you are making up that pollution kills no one, right now. Just like when you said round up is perfectly safe to eat. LOL!!

[Captdon]

No contamination. You don't know because you don't believe radiation is dangerous, because you don't believe in facts and science. I will not pretend to know the numbers on a study that has never been conducted.

A load of crap. We are very careful with our radioactive waste. We are still trying to get our waste to a place where there are no earthquakes.

I don't know what's in those containers but that's not how radioactive waste is stored to start with. I was around when Three-mile went down. That's not how it is handled. You are gullible.

I asked you how many people you believe were killed "by fracking" or "nuclear."

It should be easy to confirm.

Yes, Round-up is perfectly safe to eat. Our bodies are designed to protect us from a little bit of contaminant. If it was not safe people would be dropping dead daily. But they don't die from Round-up, do they? No Of course not. Once it was clear glyphosate is safe the lawyers expanded it to other things like the detergents used to apply it to the plants.

You mentioned science. Tell me about the studies. Link them after you summarize what they mean.

I applaud your attempt to downplay the seriousness of man caused mass deaths of innocent people. Nice, be proud of yourself now.

He's just trying to put it into perspective.

The idea that people die from pollution is misleading. I promise you not one of their death certificates lists "Death from Pollution" as the cause of death.

Rather, these are people with illnesses, such as asthma or heart disease that can be exacerbated by pollution.

Obviously, we need to keep our world clean, but we really don't need all the fearmongering. You say you care about these people but when your renewable energy is too expensive for them to pay to heat and cool their homes, you'll begin to see the poorest of the poor die because you insisted on a pipe dream.

You missed my point. It’s ok.

[Dr. Who]

People around the world are not our problem.

Air pollution has a habit of moving around the world.

Probably not as much as you fear/hope.

Glysophate is not one of the food groups for a reason. Cancer rates are increasing and it's because our food is full of chemical contaminants. It won't kill you right away and you won't die of being directly poisoned, you will die from a myriad of diseases that develop as a result of the destruction of your immune system.

Fear yes, hope, no. However, there is no air on this planet that stays in one place for long.

Glyphosate is one of the most studied compounds around. I posted a link of a government researcher saying it is harmless. Cancer rates may be increasing because we sit all day and eat junk food.


The surfactants in formulations generally do not increase the toxicity of glyphosate itself towards humans. A 2000 review concluded that "under present and expected conditions of new use, there is no potential for Roundup herbicide to pose a health risk to humans".
