We have air pollution! GET A GUN!

Yet another scary study came out this weekend about air pollution.

Earlier this year, researchers said air pollution was killing thousands of Californians a year. When you look into it, however, those studies are based on other studies done by researchers in other parts of the country and their results averaged and slapped on California. (Even the original studies that showed some increased death rate from PM2.5 exposure, by the way, showed little to NO effect in California).

But, heck, it's a scary study and no one really has the time or inclination to read through the mounds of confusing research that led to that "finding," so on we go about our business as if these numbers are real and mean anything. Well, I had the inclination and took the time and what I read let me to believe those numbers aren't real and they don't mean anything, other than to certain groups trying to advance their political agendas.

ANYHOO, back to the latest scary study: Air pollution makes kids dumb, in utero, no less.

Eh, I don't buy it and said so in my column, check it out and let me know what you think.
