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.

I've never seen any thing that unequivocally verifies that. It's like trying to say that second hand cigarette smoke is just as or more dangerous than smoking a cigarette yourself which from a common sense point of view is bs...just like global warming...it's a hoax put on by the smoking nazis...IMHO opinion of course ;-)

There is an automatic tendency to accept that as ‘common sense’ yet there is not a shred of documented evidence outside of heavily polluted work environments and extreme weather-related events leading to trapped recycled air.

If you were confined to a room where the air was maintained at 21% oxygen but had a system to remove all CO2 even as you breathed about in it, your respiration rate would go haywire; ill effects suspected to be causes of disease from air pollution are nearly impossible to indict and are assumed to be from long-term exposure.

Investigators are supposed to interrogate the evidence, not torture it.
