> Pollution from fossil fuel combustion deadlier than previously thought But... Remember that the lifestyle improvements from fossil fuels greatly extend life. We (currently) need fossil fuels for our food and medicine supply. Just think of how many people would die if there were no fossil fuel ambulances or electricity to run hospitals. That, IMO, is the real reason why we're in the climate change mess. The lifestyle that fossil fuels enables is irresistible and too lucrative to accelerate the change to clean energy.
