The New York Times
By Matthew L. Wald
Brief Summary:
Burning fossil fuels are causing more damage to the health of Americans than previously determined, mostly due to the thousands of premature deaths from air pollution. Recent studies determined that most of the cause is the oil and coal, leaving our country with $120 billion worth of health care costs.
Short Response:
Increased human deaths due to air pollution can make anyone worry and leave them wondering what we can do to improve the air pollution to prevent these deaths and many possible others. The fact is that we know mostly what we should and shouldn't do to help our environment, and I think a lot of progress has been made, but more people need to become involved.
