I think we should all thank BriPat for starting this thread.
The fact of the matter is we still have issues with pollution. Now whether it's pollution for the sake of our health or Global Warming, these two do intertwine in specific areas.
I'm more concerned with pollution as a threat to human health. Global Warming is a concern, but for me I'm riding the fence. Both the pro and con sides of Global Warming are heavily financed by special interests, so I fear there isn't enough if any, objectivity.
However, there are many studies done by health organization dealing with pollution and these studies conclusions should be a concern to anyone including all parents. To ignore these studies is just poor ignorance and judgement.
As long as this country is addicted to fossil fuels we will see the rise of respiratory disease along with the pollution of our water and vegetation.. It's a fact that respiratory disease is on the rise and it correlates with the rise of fossil fuel usage. This effects all ages and ethnicities. For those who only think with their wallet, this increases the cost of healthcare.
