Show me a pattern of death by asphyxiation with the elderly in the vicinty of coal plants, then there can be a discussion. Otherwise, you have no point.

We have seen the elderly die of heat exposure/exhaustion.

Are you saying the Earth is a Republican?

Well I guess that is because some of you have been taken in by global warming that is no longer talked about by the people who pushed it so hard. Did you know that the global temperature has dropped nearly one degree Fahrenheit in the past several years? Maybe that is why the warmers became climate changers.
1. I'm not a Democrat.

2. Volcanic eruptions usually shoot their particles into the upper troposphere or stratosphere. Coal plants are closer to the surface, and the particulates they emit can easily coalesce near and downwind from power plants. There have been plenty of examples of poor pollution from factories and plants resulting in nearly deadly environments. Please read up on the Killer London Fog of 1952 and the 1948 Donora smog incident to try to get an actual grasp of why regulations exist.

3. Try to understand that this is talking about air pollution in general, not just carbon dioxide.

4. Global temperature has NOT dropped "over the past several years"... please do not even begin this argument with an actual degree meteorologist.

Asphyxiation? You should probably read up on coal dust and the variety of respiratory illnesses it can cause.
