Transitioning away from fossil fuels would save millions of lives and more than pay for itself in saved healthcare costs
It would be a no-brainer even if they weren't driving the breakdown of our life support systems

Air pollution from burning fossil fuels causes 100,000 to 200,000 avoidable American deaths per year. At the EPA's statistical value of life of $10 million, these deaths cost America $1 to $2 trillion per year, every year. These costs far outweigh the costs of transitioning off of fossil fuels.
Air pollution deaths attributable to fossil fuels: observational and modelling study
Objectives To estimate all cause and cause specific deaths that are attributable to fossil fuel related air pollution and to assess potential health benefits from policies that replace fossil fuels wi...

Drone delivery is here. Electric 5-minute flights can replace 20-minute car trips in Atlanta. Medical drones already cut maternal deaths by 56% in Ghana. We have tools for resilience — yet governments choose more planes, more roads, more emissions. This is suicide.

Urban foxes and raccoons are changing before our eyes. Studies show city populations now have shorter snouts – a classic sign of early domestication. As ecosystems collapse, some species are adapting to human-made worlds. Others are dying out, fast.
