What is the base rate? Increasing a very small number by 1.7x or 20x is still a small number. One might say “oh any increase is too much.” I acknowledge that and counter that there is opportunity cost to addressing topics of small effect. For example, I would expect that if unconstrained atmospheric combustion was a big problem, it would show up in occupations with high likelihood of exposure. “Occupational exposure as a firefighter” has been evaluated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and classified as “possibly carcinogenic to humans”, with strongest evidence for testicular cancer, prostate cancer and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7254920/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7254920/
