(CNN)Air pollution is deadly:

(CNN) Air pollution is deadly: A new study links exposure to it to more than 107,000 premature deaths in the United States in 2011. It isn't just killing us; it cost the country $866 billion, more than double the value of all the economic activity in a country  like Ireland,  according to the study, published Monday in the  Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Particulate matter, or particle pollution, is the mix of solid and liquid droplets floating in the air, according to the  Environmental Protection Agency.  It can come in the form of dirt, dust, soot or smoke.   Particulate pollution comes from coal- and natural gas-fired plants. Cars, agriculture, unpaved roads, construction sites and wildfires can also create it. https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/08/health/particle-pollution-study/index.html

Climate change

 Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns . While some of these shifts are natural, human activities have been the main driver of climate change since the 1800s, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels.   Causes of Climate Change The primary cause of climate change is the greenhouse effect , which is intensified by human activities. Here's a breakdown of the main contributors:   Greenhouse Gases: The burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas for energy, transport, and industry releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The main greenhouse gases include:   Carbon dioxide ( C O 2 ​ ) : The largest contributor to global warming.   Methane ( C H 4 ​ ) : A potent greenhouse gas produced from sources like livestock farming and natural gas flaring.   Nitrous oxide ( N 2 ​ O ) : Primarily emitted from agricultural practices, including the use of fertilizers.   Deforestation: Trees absorb C O 2 ​ f...
