London Review- Ten Million a Year
Not all deaths are created equal. In February 2020, the world began to panic about the novel coronavirus, which killed 2714 people that month. This made the news. In the same month, around 800,000 people died from the effects of air pollution. That didn’t. Novelty counts for a lot. At the start of the pandemic, it was considered unseemly to make comparisons like these.
1/6 of all mortality world-wide is supposedly caused by ‘air pollution’?
Covid has killed no one.
Ummm yes. I know personally 5 people who died directly due to covid, breathing, fever the whole nine yards.
Quit being so ignorant.
Air pollution only causes ‘statistical deaths’ based on junk science.
Studies. Lots of UN “Studies” … computer models.
According to the WHO on average 2 million people die each year of air pollution. Almost immediately people assume it to be related to the burning of fossil fuels. In reality millions of people still have to cook on open fires and also heat their huts. I have been to places where wood is very scarce and therefore they resort to twigs, leaves grasses and animal dung.
BS this is just the same old enviro blarney science. The air pollution is rarely measurable and the deaths rarely statistically significant. But it keeps the money flowing into the charities and causes. It’s just another front in the war on civilization and humanity by the watermelons. Don’t forget they call CO2 “pollution”.
An interesting article;
// (‘You see one person run over in the street and you’ll never forget it,’ an environmentalist observes in Choked: The Age of Air Pollution and the Fight for a Cleaner Future.* Thousands dying from the effects of dirty air ‘will never even faze you’.) //
“A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic.” variously attributed.
It’s why journalists writing about some misfortune portray an individual case as stand in for the others.
With respect to CoviD, it’s why pro-vaxxers show individuals in hospitals & anti-vaxxers show percentages and crowds of people without masks.
Part of the problem is the gradual nature of the deaths by pollution.
BUT
// the calculus for air pollution is the same as for obesity or smoking: take the problem away, and the number of premature deaths will fall by many millions. According to new research, half of these deaths, concentrated in the developing world, are the result of consumption and fossil-fuel burning in the world’s richest countries. //
Ironically … and incompetently … None of the “studies” included a calculation of how many deaths would result from decarbonization and deindustrialization. How many people will freeze to death? Or swelter to death with no air conditioning? Not a single one … according to the “studies”.
// None of the “studies” included a calculation //
doesn’t compute with
// Not a single one … according to the “studies”. //
Only ecofanatics favor deindustrialisation & they tend to think that the world would be better off without people.
And the solutions are just different [low carbon] forms of industry – nuclear, wind, solar are all technologies.
The need for air conditioning tends to be in places where solar potential is high — how many times have I read
southwest folk [with no interest in climate change] bragging that they pay nothing for air conditioning
now that they have solar installed [well, actually two times]
As for the hyperboreal residents:
https://www.itv.com/news/2021-11-03/how-cables-2500-miles-long-could-bring-solar-power-from-morocco-to-uk-homes
And the power loss in those 2500 mile cables? They would be undersea cables.
And then the muslims say “convert or freeze”. And all this for only 8% of Britains energy consumption. Terrible idea.
And your point is??
Since the death of Rush L. I have been searching for a new talk show to listen to. A few days ago I was tuned in to CFAX Victoria. The commentator Put forward that all the panic was the fault of the politicians and not the media. So I say look in the mirror. Who put and keeps these things in power?? So I say.
And your point is????
If mandatory B12 shots were given to a population, might they see a general reduction in mortality? And if the shot were then taken away, would the increased mortality be due to B12 deficiency?
You live…
Then you die..
What, How, Where you Live, What you Eat, Who You Marry, and especially what Mass Media ya listen to…….or Not is ALL 100% on your OWN plate..
No one elses.
An Article LIterally about – NOTHING
I got half way…enough.
Just out from GBNews this interview which may not be available for long.

The comments below are very disturbing and heartbreaking as people start to realize they’ve been part of an experiment.
Who is going to be held accountable for this mass murder?
1. I did not get through the whole article. Did he name one individual person that died from “Air Pollution?”
It sounds a lot like Second Hand Smoke.
2. The best way to eliminate Air Pollution Globally is to make everyone Rich and Capitalist. Rich Countries can afford to clean up their air, land, and waters. Capitalism, Rule of Law, and Secure Private Ownership of Private Property is how you make countries Rich; AND Private Ownership of Property is how you make the unwilling clean up their pollution from their factory, mill, mine, etc.
Sooooo…120,000,000 deaths annually. Which averages out to 10,000,000 deaths monthly. 800,000 deaths caused by air pollution.
8% of all deaths caused by air pollution. 92% of all deaths caused by everything else.
Yikes…and here I thought Liberals lacked imagination.
All this talk about death aroused my curiosity so I started to dig around and unearthed this statistic: Did you know that 92% of all deaths are caused by natural causes? This is an appalling statistic. Something needs to be done about it. I don’t know about you but upending this statistic is a cause I could sink my teeth into. I know the chances of success are slim to none but I feel we should give it a go. What do you say, men? Kenji? VOWG? Burton? Are you up for the challenge? Here’s a chance to go down in the history books. Are you game?
More people = more deaths. Lungs of the planet = Siberian Taiga and Northern Canada’s Boreal forest. Claiming forest fires in B.C. exceed other sources of carbon dioxide may be true but only for the past year. Does anyone think the London Review of Books is a good source of scientific data ?
I read most of it, and thought it was a bit overblown. Then I got to the money quote:
“Perhaps, like me, you have spent the last five years in a state of panic about climate change.”
I quit reading after that.
