Talk:Pollution

What the heck—the word that launched an entire political movement, and we don't have an article on it? 23:52, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) I do have J.R. McNeill's excellent book Something New Under the Sun, which has almost 300 (extensively footnoted) pages on pollution, so I'll get to work on boiling it down to five paragraphs for this article. 00:04, 26 April 2010 (UTC)


 * It is not noteworthy. I vote we re-direct it to TK. 23:59, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it is. Pollution is the subject most actively downplayed by non-environmentalists.  A brief article summarizing the vast impact pollution has on the environment, and, more importantly, on human lives (400,000+ a year dead from air pollution, for example) would be a good first step towards countering that attitude.   00:04, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I hope you know I was kidding above. 00:06, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh. Could you throw in a smiley next time, because I sometimes have trouble telling?   00:27, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
