Yes but what's so bad about advocating for less air pollution?
Why does this have to be a divisive political issue?
Honestly seems to me like you are the one being misled by whatever politics.
If you weren't you wouldn't react so harshly to an article about improving public health.
I don't like vox either because they are biased as you say, but I am not somehow going to think that breathing petrol fumes is fine.
You're assuming anything written in that article has even a passing relationship with the world of matter, rather than the delusional world of people who think Vox is something worth taking seriously.
Really? I think that claim is false. The Trump administration is actively working to make it easier to pollute the air as the article highlights. And many other political forces favor air pollution too e.g. oil and gas unions and utilities.
The fundamental point the article makes, is there is no difference between objecting to climate change and objecting to air pollution.
So based on their lobbying 'against climate change' there are lots of people (and lobbyists) who favor air pollution!
Not at all; I find Vox to be laughable rather than anger-making -I just can't figure out how anybody can take it any more seriously than something like the Drudge Report. You can be "middle of the road" and still super, monstrously wrong. Vox is very good at this!
The article itself isn't the worst thing they ever published, but it's pretty typical of the genre; vapid, misleading, basic midwit nonsense that seems like a good idea but actually is barking insanity.
