Pollution has DROPPED significantly in the last 30 years, especially auto pollution. What a load of hooey.
Perhaps they meant the pollution of the education system by radicals and liberals?
That could be what they meant... ;-)

ABSOLUTELY!!!!
This is Junk Science. I wonde if they took in to account better and earlier detection of these diseases>
Something doesn't smell right here. They start out by talking raw numbers, then switch to death rates.
One factor not discussed (and it's no surprise considering it's The Guardian) is that western nations are importing a lot of disease. One could argue that the rising rates of tuberculosis in the US is due to the environment, but the real answer is that we're importing it from 3rd world countries like the one just to the south of us. But we can't talk about that, so let's just use the catch-all excuse--it's the "pollution".
Global warming must be involved. Too many people exhaling too much carbon dioxide.
That was my thought. Pollution is dropping so if these deseases are going up there must be other causes.
