It looks like the agenda of pharmakeia is thus furthered - more death, more asthma, more profits, more control.

#maga (Make Asthma Great Again)
Amazing foresight (I think it's called) - seeing what is coming from current choices (of industry).Ya know, speaking as one who got his doctorate in coal chemistry I actually had fantasies decades ago of working in coal or petroleum. But then I wound up in other jobs and did other things with my life. I learned how incredibly horrible coal is as a fuel source. Yet I still find coal fascinating.
I wonder what it is like to be the kind of people who cannot survive outside of their sole passion. Imagine what it must be like to be the CEO of a major coal company and be unable to do anything else with your life such that you would fight tooth and nail to ensure America is one of the most regressive environmental forces on earth, working overtime to ensure the future is really, really grim for millions of people.
Just because you couldn't possibly understand how to do ANYTHING else with your miserable single-issue brain.
Sad.

Really? The one in power might be doing the will of the beast of the earth,Decades of hard work by thousands of people and supported by tens of millions more is being set back by the agenda of a single ignoramus in the seat of power.

1,400 dead Americans was too great a price to pay, so.... the EPA wants to change the formula used to calculate air pollution deaths to make them go away. On paper, anyway.
The different method for evaluating health impacts, according to the [failing New York Times], is notable "because it discards more than a decade of peer-reviewed EPA methods and relies on unfounded medical assumptions."
1400 additional deaths per year?
That's it? I've had such high hopes for this administration and they can't even reach a million?
See, here's the problem. You looking at one set of information and calling it 'founded medical assumptions' and looking at another set of information and calling it 'unfounded medical assumptions'.
There are peer-reviewed scientific studies that show that there are "negative health effects well below the 12-microgram standard."
That's what we call founded on reliable evidence.
People have likened the air quality standards to a speed limit. Just because we set a safety limit at 65 mph doesn't mean there are no vehicular deaths at speeds below that. This new method of death accounting is tantamount to making that assumption. It is not just unfounded, it is contradicted by evidence.
Well of course there are negative health effects to pollution.
At some point we have to accept that human existence causes pollution.
Well of course there are negative health effects to pollution. The problem is, zero pollution can only be achieved by not having power. Well if we commit suicide, and thus can shut off all the power plants, then we can achieve zero pollution and thus zero health effects.
At some point we have to accept that human existence causes pollution. We can fight over where the line should be drawn, which is the question.
How many people have died because of air pollution? Not how many died according to some estimate based on mathematical formulas. How many people died, and you can say it wasn't because they were smoking pot, or eating McDonald's, or watching too much TV.
How many people can you say "John Doe here died from coal power plants"?
And the answer is zero.
At best you can say people who had a pre-existing condition, had those conditions aggravated by low levels of pollution.
So what we're talking about is simply assumption. You are assuming such and such a number of people died from such and such pollution.
You can't point to an actual count of the specific number of people with a toe tag "Cause: Coal power plant".
And this is why some people are getting bent about how the EPA calculates these fictional numbers of deaths. Because they are using this fiction to push an agenda.
Then why do you support the Trump Administration trying to ignore these facts, rather than accept these facts?
Oh? How’s that going to work?Two reasons.
There is no enumerated authority given in the constitution for the EPA. The EPA is unconstitutional, and should not exist.
I believe that EPA regulations are in fact, too strict, and that each state has the right under the constitution, to regulate their own state.
See, HERE'S the problem. When science has made strong links between air quality and cancer rates (some of this research done by coal companies themselves), people who think they are smarter than doctors, researchers, all manner of statisticians and researchers who've invested 10s of thousands of hours on report after report, feel that they have this "one argument" that nobody has EVER thought of that has the power to take down all that work and millions in funding. They feel that THEY are not convinced. To be fair they have done absolutely no intellectual leg work to be kept up to date on the science behind the research. They have made no effort to learn about that which they disagree so vehemently on. They demand answers to questions like a child advising and inquiring about their parents' finances.So name one clear unambigous air pollution death due to the new rule, or name one air pollution death that was prevented due to the old rules?
