Human bodies of victims killed by dangerous fossil fuel and biomass waste would form a chain

stretching 2560 km - and that's just each year.

The statistics, unremarked by the dangerous fossil fuel apologists in the anti-nuke industry - the industry funded by Gazprom, Shell Oil, Chevron, and the other companies that fund people like Amory Lovins and Gerhard Schroeder - are determined thusly.

The World Health Organization determines that about 1.6 million people die each year from dangerous fossil fuel and biomass combustion waste - also known as "air pollution."

And that's just indoor air pollution.

More than half of the world’s population rely on dung, wood, crop waste or coal to meet their most basic energy needs. Cooking and heating with such solid fuels on open fires or stoves without chimneys leads to indoor air pollution. This indoor smoke contains a range of health-damaging pollutants including small soot or dust particles that are able to penetrate deep into the lungs. In poorly ventilated dwellings, indoor smoke can exceed acceptable levels for small particles in outdoor air 100-fold. Exposure is particularly high among women and children, who spend the most time near the domestic hearth. Every year, indoor air pollution is responsible for the death of 1.6 million people - that's one death every 20 seconds.

Taking the average height of a human being to be about 1.6 m, the calculation is pretty obvious, unless of course, one is a dumb anti-nuke and therefore incapable of doing math.

Running well, I hope?
