    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.

        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.
