3 phase report, the second of which lists a bit of data.



It's you who are acting on emotion. Environmentalism is a religion. You appear to be one of its adherents. The truth of the matter is that environmentalism harms the well-being of humans far more than it helps. In fact, to call it "environmentalism" is completely misleading. Its actually the "anti-human being" movement. No one is denying the existence of pollution and no one is saying it is necessarily a good thing. That's not the issue. The question is whether, considering its benefits and costs, any particular pollution good or bad in the aggregate. The positive effects of fossil fuels far, far outweighs the negatives by probably thousands of orders of magnitude
