MIT Study False Claims CO2 Pollution Causes Health Problems

MIT Study False Claims CO2 Pollution Causes Health Problems

MIT study claims reducing "carbon pollution" will cut health costs. But carbon dioxide is not a pollutant that causes health problems, whether or not it causes climate change. Air pollution, on the other hand, of things other than carbon dioxide (which is produced by breathing) can cause health problems. Air pollution can be caused by power plants and vehicles without emissions controls such as old fashioned wood or coal b urning steam locomotives which spit out smoke and ash, but CO2 is NOT a pollutant in the sense of "dirty" air.
