India, Pakistan, China: …
You left out an important part.
In most Western countries, air has been getting consistently cleaner the past decades due to increasingly strict regulation.
The article is there for you to read. I didn’t leave out anything. I will say air does move across the Pacific ocean and we’ve been having some nice wild fires here in the states.
You editorialized the title, turned it into an ordinary doomscrolling clickbait title that is misrepresenting what the article actually says. Going by the comments here you did fool a lot of people with it.
This is WORLD news and I just copied the title from my feed.
Then you should check your sources, because the actual title of the article is “India, Pakistan, China: Air pollution is now cutting life short in these 6 countries”
Which implies something entirely different than your doomsday title.
Guess what. The United States is dealing with massive wild fires. And guess what this article talks about.
Would have been less clickbait to use the actual title, which says a lot…
It’s a new article, there’s no bait. There’s wildfires everywhere. I gain nothing from you reading the article
You withheld information present in the original title which changes the veracity of the statement.
It is bait. By definition.
Quit defending it, you’re just gonna end up having people block you for being a twat.
It’s not bait if you actually read the article. Also I should be gaining something. People don’t fish for nothing.
Here ya go dumbasses that can’t get over the title.
"Wildfires are exacerbating a huge threat to human health.
More dangerous than tobacco or alcohol, air pollution is exacerbated in certain regions of the world including Asia and Africa, according to a study out today.
“Particulate air pollution remains the world’s greatest external risk to human health”, says the report issued by the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago (EPIC).
Despite this, the funds allocated to the fight against air pollution represent only a tiny fraction of those devoted to infectious diseases, for example.
Fine particulate matter is caused by fires, industrial activity and motorised vehicles. They are carcinogenic and increase the risk of lung disease, heart disease and strokes.
According to figures from the World Health Organisation (WHO), 36% of lung cancers are linked to these emissions, as are 34% of strokes and 27% of heart disease.
Compliance with the WHO threshold for exposure to fine particles would increase global life expectancy by 2.3 years, EPIC estimates, based on data collected in 2021."
Right in the damn article. The United States and I’m sure other parts of the world are having wild fires as well. Are they healthier outside of Asia?
I think I’m just gonna block you, because I don’t think I want to see your takes on anything beyond this point. Cheers
Lmao, I can’t imagine caring
Editorializing titles is a bad practice and this was deliberately done to mislead the readers. Stop complaining that everyone is calling you out for it.
Use the headlines provided. They’re less imflamatory
Maybe read pass the headline removed
How about you don’t use slurs? How about not editorializing headlines to entirely misrepresent the article?
It’s not hard to not be an asshole
Again, you didnt read the article, removed
Again, let’s not use slurs. It’s not that hard.
I did read the article. The contents don’t matter. The title fits the article and should have been used instead of your inflammatory, editorialized one.
Yeah the contents do matter, god damn removed lol
Again, slurs? It’s just pathetic you actually think you’re saying something.
Editorialization doesn’t matter when posting a title. The title matches the article, it just wasn’t inflammatory enough for you so you had to completely misrepresent it to fit your narrative.
Which title? Did an editor write the title? You all should fight for the biggest removed title in the thunder dome.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
More dangerous than tobacco or alcohol, air pollution is exacerbated in certain regions of the world including Asia and Africa, according to a study out today.
“Particulate air pollution remains the world’s greatest external risk to human health”, says the report issued by the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago (EPIC).
According to figures from the World Health Organisation (WHO), 36% of lung cancers are linked to these emissions, as are 34% of strokes and 27% of heart disease.
Compliance with the WHO threshold for exposure to fine particles would increase global life expectancy by 2.3 years, EPIC estimates, based on data collected in 2021.
New Delhi remains the world’s most polluted megacity with fine particulate matter annual average rate topping 126.5 μg/m3.
And yet air pollution is deadlier to people living in the Democratic Republic of Congo or Cameroon than HIV, malaria or other diseases.
The original article contains 525 words, the summary contains 146 words. Saved 72%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Anyone else experiencing that existential dread today?
Just look at all the removed complaining about the title, but only read the title of the article. What a world.
You don’t take criticism very well. You doing ok?
Cause they are wrong
They are wrong that you posted an altered title? Or that the way you altered the title is much more alarmist? The fact you haven’t even considered altering your post title when that’s a legitimate response to the criticism levied says a whole lot about the situation.
The fact your doubling down saying “they are wrong” makes me even more concerned about you. We are on a social media site to share information via links, many people choose Lemmy because it being decentralized keeps their feed from becoming riddled with dopamine hits or doom scrolls. The world is real fucked up, I get it. Editorializing to make it worse doesn’t do anything helpful.
Read the article removed. If you don’t like it, hit me with those useless downvotes.
I read it, thank you. I’ve been talking to you in good faith have you provided the same courtesy to me?
Considering the way they respond I’m going to take a wild guess and say they haven’t
We did read the article. We just don’t feel the need to editorialize the title because it doesn’t fit the narrative.
It’s not that hard to stop using slurs. I hope you get your ass beat when you say that to the wrong person
