Isn't the number one reason cheap meat since they need shittons of antibiotics in factory farming?

I'd assume that it's more of a correlation that people in less polluted cities are richer on average and eat less of the really shitty meat that has the highest chance to carry that kind of bacteria?

Sigh... spreads bacteria easier, spreads COVID easier. What isn't air pollution driving?

This is why the rich who think that they can just buy their way into an enclave that'll protect them from climate change are wrong. This and basically everything else that's happening.

It'll get bad enough and broad enough to affect them personally, but it'll be too late for them to regret it by then.

At least they will get to watch their families perish in front of their eyes.

Well that’s alarming.

No more internet for the night or I won’t sleep.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


A new global study found that rising air pollution levels correlated with increased antibiotic resistance – one of the biggest threats to human health.

Scientists studied data across 116 countries over nearly two decades, publishing their findings in The Lancet Planetary Health journal on Tuesday.

“Antibiotic resistance and air pollution are each in their own right among the greatest threats to global health,” said lead author Hong Chen from Zhejiang University in China.

More than four million people are estimated to die prematurely each year due to exposure to air pollution linked to these fine particles.

This type of air pollution is caused by fossil fuel burning, cigarette smoke and forest fires among other sources.

By 2050, antibiotic resistance could increase by 17 per cent if policies on air pollution do not change, the study authors added.


I'm a bot and I'm open source!
