More bovine scatology!

Thank goodness it’s only Canadians.

‘Tis truly amazing how these numbers magically appear. ‘Tis also amazing that anybody actually believes these clowns. They, and their ilk, are making a mockery out of science.

[mighty_righty]

Hmmm...sound’s like a good start - ‘eehhhh!’

[Red Badger]

I didn’t know there were that many Canadiens...............

[gracesdad]

Is it that you don’t believe the specific numbers or that you don’t believe air pollution kills at all?

I think guessing at numbers is BS, but I don’t think there’s any question that air pollution can kill or hasten death.

[ken21]

that’s funny!

probably all british columbians.

they come down here to winter and act like they own the place, and some do!

they hate bush.

[Notasoccermom]

How can this be with free health care?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Quick! Do the math! How many Canadians will die from “pollution” by the year 2042 when whitey becomes the minority in this country.

[OESY]

In the end, all 35 million Canadians will die.

As in our country, some will merely catch the early train.

I’ll believe that when they provide a list of names and copies of the death certificates.

Air pollution this year will kill more than 20,000 Canadians, the Canadian Medical Association said Wednesday in a report.

with or without 'help' from the Canadian 'free' health care?

[Oldeconomybuyer]

My research indicates the number of Canadians killed by air pollution is 560,000,897,000,321.

[pepperdog]

Ridiculous! They should share a border with Mexico, then they would know what real pollution is.

[Old Professer]

There is absolutely no way to prove such statements; the fact that they have the imprimatur of a major health agency only serves to illustrate the degree that such distortions of science have deteriorated.

The overall mortality rate is still falling in all of North America and the air is measurably cleaner than it has ever been yet these doomsayers are never satisfied and will not be even if the air could be made pure as laboratory gas.

This all stems from the ridiculous notion that there is such a thing as premature death which would require a setpoint for timely death; something too far for government’s reach short of intervention on the wrong end of the scale.

The report in question here is obviously being made public as a prelude to voiced calls for more industrial controls of U.S. facilities as a focus of blame.

Such a spectacle - science sluts in short skirts sashaying down the street in search of spare change.

[HenpeckedCon]

I wouldn't worry, immigration from Mooselimb countries will more than make up for for the people lost to pollution.

[MediaMole]

They are claiming that about 10% of the total number of deaths in Canada are directly traceable to pollution.

The report is clearly junk science.

Here is a link to a more complete article with a few more details and some harder questions.

Wait until this winter when all of those miracle, outdoor, wood burning, stoves are all stoked up this winter in an effort to cut greenhouse gasses. Imagine the particulates in the air....
