Did you know that more than 10 million people around the world🌏 die prematurely from ultrafine dust (PM2.5) caused by fossil fuels🏭⁉️😲


According to a report📑 by the joint research team 👨‍🔬 of the University of Birmingham, University of Leicester, and Harvard University in the United States, announced in February 2021, it was estimated that more than 10.23 million people around the world are dying prematurely every year due to fossil fuels!! ️ In particular, East Asia, which is highly dependent on fossil fuels, predicted that 7.82 million premature deaths could occur each year due to fossil fuels. It was followed by the United States (355,000) and Africa (194,000).


Fossil fuels threatening not only the climate crisis but also our lives☠️! This is why the 2030 coal phase must happen!🙋‍♂️
