A new set of findings provide the not-very-surprising insight that air pollution is making Americans sick in many ways.
- Manhattan air is still thick with pollutants
- Elderly Americans in polluted areas have higher rates of pneumonia
- Dementia in elderly women is linked to pollution from automobiles
Pro-industry dittoheads who rant that a couple of emails prove decades of climate science irrelevant and oppose health care reform are doing a double whammy to our physical and economic well being. The high cost of health care is being driven higher by the omnipresence of artificial pollutants in our nation’s air.
You want a health reform bill that works? How about legislation that reduces the energy inefficiency that causes so much of the pollution we breathe in every day? How about supporting a tough climate bill?
