"We find that we're getting a substantial return on our investments in improving our air quality. Not only are we getting cleaner air that improves our environment, but it is improving our public health" say the researchers.

Of course pollution makes life shorter. I moved back to the country in Ireland.
How good it is to breathe in fresh country air.
Remember how good you feel when you breathe in sea air? - 3 years ago

This study is necessary to help educate Republicans and former Bush-supporters.
The reason our country suffers from unusually high levels of ADHD, autism, birth defects, and cancer, cancer, cancer is because common sense pollution regulations have been repeatedly blocked by Republicans. Why? Because "Dem thar eco-Nazis are trying to make money by forcing CEO's to reduce that thar pollution and such! It's all a scam!" -- or so the "logic" of the Right wing goes.
Republicans, you see, feel that any attempt whatsoever to reduce the amount of cancer-causing pollution in their air and water is identical to "Communism" and should therefore be avoid at all costs. (Please don't ask them to define "communism" because it will give them a headache and a nosebleed while they struggle to verbalize an answer.)
When Republicans and former-Bush supporters (now Gov. Palin supporters) are asked why fewer tumors and less cancer is a bad thing....they have no answer.
Scientist speculate that decades of pollution have created tumors on Bush/Palin supporters brains rendering them incapable of critical thought.
More study is definitely needed to help these poor, poor people.

Unfortunately US Public Transportation has brought another kind of pollution threat. NOISE! There is no escape! We will be saving our lungs and blow up our brains.

Actually legalizing weed or hemp rather would greatly effect our environment positively. We can use it for paper, clothing, hemp seed oil for fuel, or with food, and the stems on fully grown plant are so fibrous and strong they can be used for concrete or even a weaker wood. So put that in your pipe and smoke it!

This is obviously fake. Everyone knows that you should inhale pollution on a daily basis, just like a flintstone's chewable.

Did they really have to do a research to come up with this kind of conclusion? Thank you very much, professor obvious.
