Air pollution deaths at WW2 scales are happening now

In NY Mag, a climate journalist David Wallace-Wells wrote about a study of the difference between 1.5 degrees of warming and two degrees.

He cited a Nature climate change paper – Quantified, localized health benefits of accelerated carbon dioxide emissions reductions

150 million more people would die from air pollution alone in a two-degree-warmer world than in a 1.5-degree-warmer one from now to 2100.

However, this does not highlight the fact that about 6 million people die every year now from air pollution. Fixing the particulate problem that is causing those deaths without focusing on the CO2 aspect would be 20 times cheaper and decades faster than the big CO2 fix.

China is spending hundreds of billions to address its air pollution issues because the citizens of China are demanding the fixes.

If the concern was really about the human lives being prematurely ended by particulates then that would be the mobilizing call which

It seems the climate scientists really care about the human lives lost to air pollution if it also involves reducing CO2.

  1. If you are going to be credible, you need to learn to read. Marcus the Troll called it a cap. I was thus correct in saying ‘there is no vanishing arctic cap’ because, as you say, there is no Arctic ice cap.

  5. I LOVE how you folks switch between one ice cap and the other. Antarctica is NOT shrinking. NET ice loss is in the negative.

  7. When it will happen it will be too late . Same as ignoring a cancer, you can live well at the beginning, when you cure it it may be too late Why do we have to risk the health of the planet because of stuupid people driving SUVs I key them, this is what I do

  9. If you’re going to be credible, you need to get the details right. There is no Arctic ice cap (except for Greenland/Svalbard/Ellesmere/etc), there is an ice pack. And even if it disappears in the Summer, it will always come back in the Winter.

  11. And your source for your claim the arctic ice cap is bigger is? To describe that claim as dubious, is an understatement, fallacious fits better. As to what effect this has, the North Pole ice is fresh water, melting into the salt water ocean, changing it’s salinity. Then there is the South Pole ice which, unlike its northern counterpart, is sitting on a continent, not in the ocean. When that melts, and it is melting, it *will* raise sea level.

  13. Unfortunately, you persistently avert your gaze from the truth, namely that the North Polar Cap is thinning and shrinking, glaciers in many parts of the World are receding, we continue to experience years among the hottest ever recorded. All the while you and your climate change denying pals continue to insist “Global warming, what global warming?”.

  15. Maersk is the name of a shipping company. It’s ships have name of the company incorporated into their names. Example: Emma Maersk There is no ship just named ‘Maersk’. You continually embarrass yourself with lacking even the most basic facts of that which you troll about. Not surprising. Standard symptom for chronic libtardism.

  17. There is no vanishing arctic cap. In fact, it has been photographed from space as LARGER than the one in 1998 that Al Gore pushed around. And who cares if it vanishes anyway? It covered WATER. Thus it is like ice cubes in a class of water. There is no rise in water level. Duh!

  19. I’m looking forward to your excuse for the vanishing arctic cap. Perhaps UFOs are taking it? Or perhaps the worlds climate scientists have been going up there and melting it to facilitate their socialist world-take over?

  21. NOAA has been caught red handed falsifying data. “Where where are your sources? Mini ice age?” I don’t have to prove anything to you. YOU have to educate yourself. This isn’t a debate and you know it, troll.

  27. You sound like a reincarnation of Warren – about as much scientific understanding as a door knob. Scientists compete with one another around the world. They therefore do not hesitate to call each other out if there is sloppy work being published. This is how science self-corrects. Learn how science works before trying to criticise it. And BTW, the projections from even 30 years ago are spot on.

  29. When are any of the doom and gloom predictions going to eventuate, so far none, zilch. When the data match the predictions then I’ll take it seriously. Till then I see sloppy and compromised scientists selling their integrity for grants.

  31. Who cares what you are going to do? It will no doubt involved a lot of trolling on NBF and elsewhere, I am sure. I was just pointing out the rock solid truth that the Chinese say one thing but their actions prove they are doing the exact opposite. Whether you want to cheer about that is entirely up to you.

Actually just read the Venta Maersk was expected to reach its final destination of St Petersburg next week having for the first time successfully navigated the Northern Sea Route of the Arctic Ocean, a route made possible by melting sea ice caused by global warming. You had better tell your boss Putin to stop humiliating his own trolls so publicly.

  53. Is it more like there are millions and millions of people breathing miserably, OR is this some type of Linear No Threshold (LNT) type statistical megadeath? Air pollution certainly affects health negatively (asthma, irritation, etc.). Experts could argue well that it shortens life expectancy – although this is invoking statistics again. People in poor smoggy dirty places have shorter life expectancy for a number of reasons. Is air pollution part of that? Sure. Is air pollution the cause of it – Nope. We all know smokers in their 70s – some in their 80s. We really need to banish this LNT math where small numbers are multiplied by large populations to estimate numbers of health effects such as cancer or death. Lies, damn lies, and statistics.

  89. I LOVE how you folks switch between one ice cap and the other. Antarctica is NOT shrinking. NET ice loss is in the negative.

  91. Actually just read the Venta Maersk was expected to reach its final destination of St Petersburg next week having for the first time successfully navigated the Northern Sea Route of the Arctic Ocean, a route made possible by melting sea ice caused by global warming.

    You had better tell your boss Putin to stop humiliating his own trolls so publicly.

  94. When it will happen it will be too late . Same as ignoring a cancer, you can live well at the beginning, when you cure it it may be too late Why do we have to risk the health of the planet because of stuupid people driving SUVs I key them, this is what I do

  96. If you’re going to be credible, you need to get the details right. There is no Arctic ice cap (except for Greenland/Svalbard/Ellesmere/etc), there is an ice pack. And even if it disappears in the Summer, it will always come back in the Winter.

  98. And your source for your claim the arctic ice cap is bigger is? To describe that claim as dubious, is an understatement, fallacious fits better. As to what effect this has, the North Pole ice is fresh water, melting into the salt water ocean, changing it’s salinity. Then there is the South Pole ice which, unlike its northern counterpart, is sitting on a continent, not in the ocean. When that melts, and it is melting, it *will* raise sea level.

  100. Unfortunately, you persistently avert your gaze from the truth, namely that the North Polar Cap is thinning and shrinking, glaciers in many parts of the World are receding, we continue to experience years among the hottest ever recorded. All the while you and your climate change denying pals continue to insist “Global warming, what global warming?”.

  102. Maersk is the name of a shipping company. It’s ships have name of the company incorporated into their names. Example: Emma Maersk There is no ship just named ‘Maersk’. You continually embarrass yourself with lacking even the most basic facts of that which you troll about. Not surprising. Standard symptom for chronic libtardism.

  104. There is no vanishing arctic cap. In fact, it has been photographed from space as LARGER than the one in 1998 that Al Gore pushed around. And who cares if it vanishes anyway? It covered WATER. Thus it is like ice cubes in a class of water. There is no rise in water level. Duh!

  106. I’m looking forward to your excuse for the vanishing arctic cap. Perhaps UFOs are taking it? Or perhaps the worlds climate scientists have been going up there and melting it to facilitate their socialist world-take over?

  110. Sources monkey boy? NOAA says it has warmed 0.9C so far but you say mini ice age. Where where are your sources? Mini ice age? Who says so? Solar sunspot activity does not lie? But those people who interpreted them sure did lie you you.

  112. Scenario B would have nailed it except we were actually effective in getting CFCs out of the atmosphere, which Hansen didn’t include in his models.

  114. You sound like a reincarnation of Warren – about as much scientific understanding as a door knob. Scientists compete with one another around the world. They therefore do not hesitate to call each other out if there is sloppy work being published. This is how science self-corrects. Learn how science works before trying to criticise it. And BTW, the projections from even 30 years ago are spot on.

  116. When are any of the doom and gloom predictions going to eventuate, so far none, zilch. When the data match the predictions then I’ll take it seriously. Till then I see sloppy and compromised scientists selling their integrity for grants.

  118. Who cares what you are going to do? It will no doubt involved a lot of trolling on NBF and elsewhere, I am sure. I was just pointing out the rock solid truth that the Chinese say one thing but their actions prove they are doing the exact opposite. Whether you want to cheer about that is entirely up to you.

  120. C’mon, you’re complaining about climate scientists…” I would toot my usual horn about your ongoing reading comprehension problem since a ‘climate journalist’ is not a ‘global warming scientist’, except Brian seems to have jumped from one to the other when writing this as well. “Secondly, 1.5C is going to be here in only 20 years” Hahahahahah! BS! We are heading into another Mini Ice Age. That is established empirical fact. Solar sunspot activity does not lie. Never has.

  122. Is it more like there are millions and millions of people breathing miserably, OR is this some type of Linear No Threshold (LNT) type statistical megadeath? Air pollution certainly affects health negatively (asthma, irritation, etc.). Experts could argue well that it shortens life expectancy – although this is invoking statistics again. People in poor smoggy dirty places have shorter life expectancy for a number of reasons. Is air pollution part of that? Sure. Is air pollution the cause of it – Nope. We all know smokers in their 70s – some in their 80s. We really need to banish this LNT math where small numbers are multiplied by large populations to estimate numbers of health effects such as cancer or death. Lies, damn lies, and statistics.
