Ecocharger + 1,474 DL June 29 3 minutes ago, TailingsPond said: That is just not true. Show me environmental sampling data showing improvement in toxic metrics. To be extra clear I do not want to see emission data. I want to see actual improvements in the environment. Do you have some fantasy that if you reduce the rate of pollution production the environmental levels immediately start to go down drastically? I could try to explain this to you with calculus but I doubt you would understand. Try to conceptualize a 100,000L reservoir that has been receiving 1000L/ day of contaminated water at 100mg/L of toxic pollution from a factory. The reservoir is well mixed and discharges an equal 1000L/day. After many years of operation the reservoir stabilizes at 12mg/L of the toxin. The local government says 12mg/L of toxin in the reservoir is unacceptable and sets a 5mg/L regulatory goal. In response to this regulatory change the factory improves its process and its effluent is now improved by 40% (60mg/L in the effluent instead of 100mg/L). Answer how long you think it will take the reservoir to reach the 5mg/L goal with this 40% reduction in pollution? If ever. No, we have seen a commensurate reduction in atmospheric particulates in tandem with the drastic decline in toxic emissions. Now you must show how that has led to a related decline in illnesses, otherwise your basic idea that there is a close relationship between illness and fossil fuels is pure wishful thinking. People without advanced statistical training often confuse correlations, but if you cannot even show a correlation, there is no hope for your idea.

I don't have to show anything - you are the one going against the mainstream science. Can you do the math on how long it would take for the pollution to resolve or not?

Who is "we" and where is the data showing improvements in the environment - not emission reduction data. Can you do the math presented? The environment does not heal itself overnight. If you promote persistent pollutants like CFC's the environment will never recover for all intents and purposes. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, having nothing to support your claims must get tiring. I present evidence on the regular. Practice your math and get back to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Okay, here is your man explaining the national debt, "When fielding a question about the national debt, his answer was incomprehensible as he seemed to be trying to argue for super-rich Americans paying more taxes. "We'd be able to help make sure that all those things we need to do—childcare, elder care, making sure that we continue to strengthen our healthcare system, making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with the—with, with, with the COVID.

This was different, not trying to avoid a question, but just unable to conceptualize an answer to a basic question about the national debt. Do you believe that Joe's answer was remotely related to the national debt? Read again what the man said. "...a question about the national debt, his answer was incomprehensible as he seemed to be trying to argue for super-rich Americans paying more taxes.

TailingsPond + 1,008 GE June 29 (edited) Very first page of the papers I showed https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30771627/ Towards a fuller assessment of benefits to children's health of reducing air pollution and mitigating climate change due to fossil fuel combustion "We distinguish between C-R functions for endpoints having a causal or likely relationship (PTB, LBW, autism, asthma development) with the pollutants for incorporation into primary analyses and endpoints having a suggestive causal relationship with the pollutants (IQ reduction, ADHD) for secondary analyses. Conclusion: We have identified C-R functions for a number of adverse health outcomes in children associated with air pollutants largely from fossil fuel combustion. Their incorporation into expanded assessments of health benefits of clean air and climate mitigation policies will provide an important incentive for preventive action."
