What people are saying
This collection of posts reflects a strong consensus on the catastrophic health and environmental impacts of fossil fuels, citing figures such as 3 million deaths per year and referencing scientific studies like Lelieveld et al. (2019). The tone is urgent and factual, with discussion centered on the scientific evidence supporting fossil fuel removal as a means to improve public health and mitigate climate change, illustrating intense interest and belief in the importance of addressing these issues promptly.
Almost all participants strongly agree with the article's findings, emphasizing the health and climate benefits of removing fossil fuels and citing statistics like over 3 million deaths annually.
Posts demonstrate high interest, with many referencing detailed studies, data, and calling for urgent action against fossil fuel emissions.
Discussions exhibit deep engagement through sharing scientific papers, highlighting specific statistics, and debating the effects of aerosols and models versus real-world data.
The collective message stresses high impact, drawing attention to the large-scale health and climate benefits of transitioning away from fossil fuels, with some posts calling for immediate policy changes.
Abstract in brief
- The study estimates that removing fossil fuel emissions could prevent over 361 million premature deaths worldwide annually from air pollution, with further reductions possible by also controlling nonfossil sources.
- Fossil fuel emissions are responsible for about 65% of excess mortality and 70% of climate cooling caused by aerosols, which impact rainfall, water security, and temperature.
- Rapidly phasing out fossil fuels and significantly reducing other human-made emissions is necessary to save lives, restore rainfall patterns, and limit global warming to 2°C.]

88/99. It is important because over 3 million people die each year from burning fossil fuels. https://t.co/S8griWyIUC
@andrewpopp6 Right. It's also personal in the sense that many folks have kids and grandkids who shouldn't inhabit a moribund planet just b/c they were born at a certain date. There's also this stat, which go far too little coverage: deaths from air pollution. https://t.co/S8griWyIUC
@drvolts Yes. It's similar to a study in 2019 saying that over 3.6 million people in the world die each year due to humans burning fossil fuels. Mainstream media can barely bother itself to cover this issue, let alone hold the GOP to account for climate denial. https://t.co/S8griWyIUC
@JulesBywaterLee @MatthewWielicki And there is the mistake, what you cite is a paper that used models and simulations.... and what @MatthewWielicki posted was actual medical reporting. Models and simulations are not the real world. https://t.co/bhfjeZHoiQ

@JamieSWilson This paper
@LeonSimons8 Yes. Widespread agreement that CO2 levels fall as soon as we stop emitting it, ~0 CO2 warming afterward. Aerosol effect is more controversial, but since you can also phase out methane, e.g. this paper https://t.co/CTS3AFEmR7 indicates 0.36C rise locked in for ~1.45C total.
@lucaberta @lveronese65 @jimmysong @BitcoinMagazine @AlexEpstein If they were bs it would be easy to publish another study disputing them. But it doesn’t happen because you can’t. They are fairly robust and continuously supported. https://t.co/Zj1bsPNsiX
Effects of fossil fuel and total anthropogenic emission removal on public health and climate fossil-fuel-related emissions account for ~65% of the excess mortality rate attributable to air pollution, & 70% of the climate cooling by anthropogenic aerosols. https://t.co/kpTLLk52Ru
@ShayakSengupta @cody_a_hill @JosephMajkut @zheng_yixuan According to this PNAS paper, most of the mortality from outdoor air pollution is related to coal burning. There are additional millions of premature deaths per year from indoor air pollution (often cookstoves). https://t.co/mFxxBMQhIV https://t.co/Cqe8OqvYfa https://t.co/RQrEzV25AJ
