Think that's a little pessismistic. Even if global warming and
polluting the atmosphere with all sorts of stuff is not as rampant as
some would like to believe, there's still people who are having
breathing difficulties because of it. That *has* to have some kind of
negative affect on our planet.

We're NOT polluting the atmosphere - at least not as much as before. The air
in the US (and most industrialized countries) is much cleaner than ten years
ago and ten years ago it was cleaner than it was fifty years ago and fifty
years ago the air was WAY cleaner than it was in, say 1850 London.

If more people are coughing today, it's not because of pollution; it's due
to health care.

A hundred years ago, a kid with asthma would have died by his second
birthday. With modern medicine, he can live to a ripe old age where he can,
every day, pester all those around him for cleaner air.

You don't hear villagers in Kenya agitating for cleaner air. Those who have
a health problem with the smoke from burning zebra **** are dead. To those
that remain alive, it's no biggie.
