8 million a year dying of fossil fuel pollution, 8 billion people on earth; sounds nearer to 1 in 1000 than 1 in 5 ? And the fact the russians in ukraine are considering allowing a nuclear power station to go critical is why we shouldn't be going nuclear. Solar, hydro, wind and batteries deserve every penny we have though.
