I made a post about how global warming is not the issue. Air pollution is the issue. Jim made his anti Global Warming pitch and I don’t want to argue with him.

I waiting to hear anyone’s argument that Air Pollution is better than Clean Air.

Air pollution – Sulfates, particulates, Nitrates, Carbon Monoxide and many other pollutants (I won’t even even talk about CO2 here) are real. Look at any city and you’ll see the orange haze of Sulphates and Nitrates mixed with soot and other emissions. You can’t argue that this is natural and not man made.

The only thing that you can do is clean up the smokestacks and cars. Most of that noxious smog is from cars. Reduce emissions and it goes away. Increase the efficiency of our energy use and it goes away. Use electric cars and it goes away. Stop burning coal and it goes away. Close or upgrade the polluting power plants and it goes away.

So, I don’t care if you think Global warming is a real issue or not. You can’t say that the increase in childhood asthma is natural. You can’t say that non-smoking related lung diseases isn’t on the rise due to man made pollution.

As long as we are at it, let’s clean up the water and the food supply.

Let’s not argue about Global Warming. The solution to air pollution is to cut emissions. Cutting emissions will make the global warming advocates happy, but that’s not the main reason for doing it.
