EXCERPT:
GORE: “First of all we now know from multiple studies that the burning of fossil fuels should be understood as a precondition for higher death rates from COVID-19; massive study of 324 cities in China showed a significant linear increase in infections and serious infections related to cities and communities where there is more particulate pollution in the air. Of course the principal source of that is burning fossil fuels. When we burn coal and gas and oil it creates carbon dioxide which is the principal cause of the climate crisis, but at the same time it creates what some people call conventional air pollution.”
