I've never understood why we can't just look at this from the perspective that polluting the planet (atmosphere, earth or water) is a benefitial thing. Why do we have to draw a dotted line to a potential consequence that will be impossible to move to a solid line such as climate change in order to know that this is a bad thing and that we need to change how we live? Why not look at deaths of people related to lung disease and asthma in population centres that have horrible air quality and say "enough"? Senseless.
