Air pollution is a big thing in our world today especially with all the cars producing tons of carbon dioxide each day, and the burning of fossil fuels like coal. Cows produce methane which is also very bad for the ozone layer, and cows use up a ot of the land which means more methane. The poor quality of the air is killing people a lot of them, it is estimated that the bad air resulted in 4.2 million premature deaths in 2016 (source). Air pollution can also raise the temperature, by burning fossil fuels we are trapping the sun’s heat in like a blanket thus raising the temperature. Air pollution can cost a lot as well, the world bank says “Air pollution costs the global economy more than $5 trillion annually in welfare costs.” (source).
In my opinion, pollution sucks I for one like to breath, and when that ability gets taken away people die; people don’t like to die either. It’s really good that counties are starting to look for cleaner energies, but it would have been better to start 10 or 15 years ago. Still, it’s good that we are starting now and not when it’s too late to fix the earth.
