When it comes to the environment, the sky isn't exactly falling

The Barrie Examiner - Ontario, CA
Here's another problem. The report doesn't project what the death count would be, if, say, we immediately banned the use of fossil fuels in order to dramatically reduce air pollution.

Under that scenario, the number of people of all ages who would die from the cold in winter, and, to a lesser extent, heat in summer (because cold is more dangerous to humans than heat) would skyrocket.
