The reason all those people die from particulates is lack of fossil fuels. It's exactly the progress that they are trying to prevent. There are millions of deaths every year: https://www.who.int/sustainable-development/housing/health-risks/household-air-pollution/en/ which includes a million or more children under five years old.

From particulates. Which can be easily prevented by using fossil (or renewable) electricity and fossil cooking fuels (e.g. methane) instead of wood or dung. I would say the anti-fossil people are idiots but that is too generous. They are committing genocide.

“About 9 million people die each year, globally, from small-particulate pollution”

Pollution isn’t climate change.

Let him explain the Middle Ages Warming Period, when it was much warmer and the Alps were snow free, and there were buildings that were later covered by ice.

They do not have enough data to make these claims.

I watched a documentary on the Neanderthals last night. A scientist type said the climate in Europe could drastically change in as little as ten years when the Neanderthals were in residence there. It was extremely cold.

Can some smart FReeper help me out?

I read that Gore, Obama and DiCaprio are so afraid of rising sea levels ("Oh! Me so scared!") that they've bought themselves expensive coastal properties in California, Cape Cod and the Caribbean (the island is for DiCaprio.) Can anybody who has the facts conveniently at hand send me more info or links?

I need it to twit my pastor about it. :o*

If it’s a war on the author’s brains, he is unarmed.

Denying manmade climate change i now an impeachable offense. Good to know how crazy the opposition has become.

When you read these climate changer diatribes, it is best to imagine the author crying and sobbing as they typed this emotional garbage. Lol.

It has been Warming for 40 years, since we started coming out of the Ice Age of the 1970’s, otherwise we would still be under ice. Gosh doesn’t anyone know anything anymore?

Hard to assume that those who read the New York Magazine have brains.
