Thank fossil fuel billionaires, writes Kate Aronoff in The Guardian. Key quote:"It makes sense that anyone facing conditions as awful as those caused by the smoke this week would get angry. The trick is to get angry at the right people: fossil fuel billionaires who couldn’t care less about the horrors they’ve unleashed", Aronoff argues. Big picture:The long-term global health impacts of toxic smoke pollution and ongoing fossil fuel use are significant. Air pollution from burning fossil fuels is responsible for one in five deaths worldwide, with approximately 10 million deaths per year attributed to air pollution.
