Idiotic Environmental Predictions

How do you die from fossil fuel, inhaling carbon monoxide or something?

Well, yes!

Combusting the additives found in gasoline—benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene—produces cancer-causing ultra-fine particles and aromatic hydrocarbons. Globally, fossil fuel pollution is responsible for one in five deaths. In the United States, 350,000 premature deaths in 2018 were attributed to fossil fuel-related pollution, with the highest number of deaths per capita in states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia. The annual cost of the health impacts of fossil fuel-generated electricity in the United States is estimated to be up to $886.5 billion.

Well, yes!

Don't run engines in an enclosed space

So what go back to the Stone age?

So what go back to the Stone age?

Of course not. Just transition to non-polluting transportation.

Of course not. Just transition to non-polluting transportation.

So sail boats and horse-drawn carts? I posit even those pollute.

You cannot transport things without polluting.

Of course not. Just transition to non-polluting transportation.

Modern cars burn gasoline exceptionally clean. Diesel is still a problem for the atmosphere. Cargo ships are probably the worse polluters on the planet. Solution here would be not to allow any in US ports that do not meet very high, strict standards. Same with Mexican trucks coming across the border with goods.

The USA itself, with the exception of diesel IC engines has become a very clean nation for how much fossil fuels it uses.

The modern day ecowarrior would complain about the methane from horseshit. They would want to do away with horses like they want to do away with cattle.
