"Air pollution is estimated to cause approximately two million premature deaths worldwide per year," said Michal Krzyzanowski, an air quality adviser at the WHO Regional Office for Europe."

Of course, with 100M cars burning gasoline and oil driving around we are ALL exposed to toxic substances in the air. It is doubtful however, that depression in sunlit areas like the US southwest will ever exceed the per capita depression of Scandinavia, or Russia.

Exposure to light has a far greater effect on the human psyche than particulates.

Most (not all) deniers have common well known traits, basically:

1. Drill baby drill, in parks, back yards etc..
2. Little or No taxes.
3. No anti-pollution laws. Polluting is an acquired right.
4. No free medical-education services, pay or do without it.
5. Little or No government except to fight oil wars.
8. Everything in hands of private uncontrolled enterprises.
9. etc etc

The five characteristics of denialists:

#1 The identification of perceived conspiracies (including belief of corrupted peer review and inversionism).

#2 The use of fake experts (often with the smearing of real experts).

#3 Selecting or cherry picking sources: picking the weakest papers or only ones that are contrary. Particularly worrisome is looking at only a single study, particularly in medicine, as one study rarely conclusively proves something. Note that this includes anecdotal evidence and quote mining.

#4 Demanding impossible standards for research (often with moving goalposts).

#5 Use of fallacy, including misrepresentation and false analogy. Informally, this can include a witch's brew of half-truths, sob stories, and/or spin to try to force the public to ignore an important issue.

There is much truth in what you say ai_vin;

#1 The identification of perceived conspiracies (including belief of corrupted peer review and inversionism).
OK BUT. They were identified, not just perceived. Maybe too much was made of those emails but the email denialists are more delusional than the AGW denialists.

#2 The use of fake experts (often with the smearing of real experts). OK

#3 Selecting or cherry picking sources: OK.

#4 Demanding impossible standards for research (often with moving goalposts). OK.

#5 Use of fallacy, misrepresentation and false analogy. OK, but see #1

#6. The Warmists must realize that, like socialists, they expect close to 100% of the world to act in unison against their own best interests. (Don’t pretend that unilateral GHG emission reduction is almost certainly self destructive)
When in reality, the “high points” of the AGW movement; UNFCCC in 1992, Kyoto, Copenhagen, COP16 at Cancun in 2010, show (even prove) that voluntary reduction of GHGs will never work.

Is anyone even claiming that any nation has reversed GHG emissions?
Totalitarianism would be required first.
But wait, those of you that like such government, GHG emission reduction would then be of lower priority; look at China.
No, no – I did not say listen. to what China says, I said look at China.

To keep on glorifying uncontrolled free enterprises will not make them better corporate citizens. If unchecked, they will:

1. pollute the planet until we all have to wear gas masks and buy fresh air and drinking water from them.

2. create frequent market bubbles and embezzle all financial resources until the middle class becomes very poor and poor people starve.

3. drive as many as they can into slavery to have low cost workers and to increase their profit margin.

4. progressively move all manufacturing jobs to low wage countries.

5. drive USA back to the 15th century where they effectively become Kings and Lords and we become their unpaid servants.

The 21th century first decade is the very first step of what can happen. USA may never be the same again if they are not better regulated.

Don’t pretend that continued and expanding reliance on a finite resource like fossil fuel is NOT almost certainly self destructive.

This all had very little to do with sustainable mobility, but at least you got all that ideological stuff out on the table.

Drastically raising the CO2 level and other GHG in the atmosphere and subsequent AGW is simply cause and effect. When the earth absorbs the radiant energy from the sun yet the earth can't radiate back to space as much due to the blanketing effect of the GHG's mean that the earth's temp must rise a bit until the energy balance is established. This is pure science and quite easy to understand. A little rise in earth temp will cause more H2O vapor in the atmosphere and will retain even more heat unless earth's temp will rise even more.

We simply have to reverse what we had done to the planet in order to avert catastrophe.

You mis-spell "oligarchy".
