According to the article, the argument from the eco tyrants is that GW leads to fires, which leads to more particulates, which leads to asthma.

The counter in the article is that EPA reports particulates going down, probably due to air qual controls.

So, maybe asthma rates go up due to the cleaner air. This could work in much the same way that cleaner water in the early 1900s led to polio.

It was discovered that early exposure to water w/higher levels of contaminants built the immune systems of children. When they cleaned up the water, the immune systems were not as strong and kids were more susceptible to certain bacteria, namely that causing polio.

So maybe the clean air is having the same type of effect.

Maybe, except polio is caused by a virus.

Who's to say the air is cleaner? I don't think it is. I think the gov is dumping on us chemicals which we cannot see nor smell.

My county has the cleanest air. It also has the most people with lung disease. Doesn't make sense does it?

Question is, What's in those contrails?

Oh, no, please, it is a runaway positive feedback, global warming causes fires and fires cause global warming! We’ll all be roasted alive.

At this point in time there is more pollution inside buildings, due to such things as chemical fumes, cigarette smoke, mold spores and cockroach dust, than there is outside, except in isolated locations.

The alleged link between global warming and wildfires has been so thoroughly debunked that even the IPCC no longer makes the claim.
