If I believe your number:

> First - do you believe it is acceptable that 7 million people die every year from pollution?

Answer this, how many of that 7 million year over year die from carbon dioxide?

This is the major issue with deniers. Carbon dioxide != pollution.

Edit:

I don't know anyone not in favor of clean energy. I know plenty who warn of government overreaching using climate change scare tactics.

You want to take a stance on pollution, then do that. Don't rant about climate change deniers.



So you are ok with 1* million(x) CO2 pollution deaths per year and 6 million(y) other pollution death per year?

*- Move the x as you want, and set y as (7 - x) million.


> Carbon dioxide != pollution

It's what plants crave!


You americans must go beyond the false dichotomy of republicans and democrats.. its just two different ways of getting your tax money, weapons and staged wars or bureaucracy. Neither gives a damn about an african genocide to lower the price of chocolate.


You're mixing pollution with green house gases


I think it's a valid point since the EPA labels CO2 as pollution.

[EDIT] Since I'm getting so many down votes, thought I'd link the EPA calling CO2 pollution. http://www.epa.gov/cleanpowerplan
