[ RadSafe ] Climate Change a fraud?

[Doug Aitken]

Epidemiologist?
I think the statement about deaths from air pollution are surprising, if
indeed this is your profession.....

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/2545747.stm would seem to indicate your timing is
off by a few hundred years.... 

And how are you classifying air pollution? Maybe Bhopal is an unfair
example? But I would have thought there is some incidence of respiratory
illnesses associated with industrial air pollution?

Maybe a few less snide remarks and a bit more effort at scientific
justification would befit this list.... 

Regards
Doug

Should other countries pay us, since CO2 coming into the USA (usual westerly
winds) is 387 ppm and leaving is LESS at 385 ppm (both increasing)?
Our expanding forests (50% more than 50 years ago) take in more CO2 than our
cars, coal buning etc put out.

Also, the only significant mortality from air pollution was 400 years ago in
wood-burning, fog-retaining London. My eyes burned in summer in Pleasanton
50 years ago but not since despite 10 x the population, downwind from SF.
Even in Calif., some things are better.
