[QUOTE="Michael, post: 68520032, member: 627"] [COLOR=#660000][COLOR=#000000]You prefer the snake oil that the fossil fuel industry is selling?[/COLOR][/COLOR] The extended life has more to do with modern medicine and better food distribution more than anything else. That has nothing to do with the diseases that are caused by pollution. The number of deaths by fossil fuels would be far worse in fact were it not for modern medicine. [COLOR=#000000] FYI, no. I've formed these opinions over many years from many resources, not just "WHO propaganda", or fossil corporation propaganda either. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]According to who? You?
