Read Thomas Kuhn's "Structure of Scientific Revolutions". I am aware of that debate. What you are initiating is a huge debate. My only point was that I highly doubt that the Medical Officers of Health have analyzed the problem to the detail suggested by their conclusions.

A good example is plastics. Plastics have undoubtedly increased life expectancy. Yet, improper production techniques and lack of respect for the consequences of pollution led to things like Love Canal. You can have both. Plastics and responsible production.

We live in a culture which has expanded almost exponentially given the rise of private transportation. If that can be advanced while reducing pollution, that would be a good goal - no? Or, put it another way, If I could prove that we could virtually eliminate pollution from tailpipes and keep private transportation, would you agree?
