It always seems pretty high.

- ben_w 8y agoAt that level I assume it’s conflating “caused” and “contributed to”, and the language seems to be mixing air pollution with all other forms of pollution. However, I cannot remember ever seeing a front page story on the topic when walking past the newspapers in the supermarket. (Not claiming there are zero front page headlines, but “Statins Do A Thing” and “Princesses Diana XYZ” swamp any about pollution).
