"Alarming Study Reveals Shocking Death Toll: Exceeds Previous Projections"
New research reveals that the burning of dirty fuels like oil, coal, and natural gas is responsible for approximately five million deaths each year, accounting for 61% of all deaths caused by outdoor air pollution. These pollutants not only lead to unnecessary deaths but also contribute to various health issues and a warming planet. Shifting towards cleaner, renewable energy sources is crucial to save lives and mitigate the negative impacts of pollution. Efforts such as banning gas-powered vehicles and transitioning to electric school bus fleets are already underway, and discussions at the recent UN Climate Change Conference focused on fast-tracking the global energy transition.
