He has close ties to the tobacco and oil industries.
That tracks, since spending one hour outdoors in NYC yesterday had about the same effect on one’s lungs as smoking one of the death sticks this talking buboe promotes as being as “safe” as the outcomes of burning fossil fuels

As a physician, FUCK THIS SHIT!!!
People are going to die from this shit, and the ghouls from the death cult are not helping.

I am in the Shenandoah Valley in VA, indoors, and can smell the smoke through my N95. Do not breath it if you possibly can avoid it.

Checks; Fox News broadcasts from NYC.
Hopefully they take their own bad advise but no one else does.

Steven Milloy should ask his doctor if ESAD is right for him.

At what point does actively providing disinformation that will harm people’s lives become a crime?
This is in the same realm as people counseling others to commit self harm or worse. They should have their broadcast license revoked for this kind of BS.

Up here in Canada - we have been on the business end of wildfire smoke over several years now and it’s getting worse.
The guidelines for Air Quality Index are a decent start though I know many people who are much more sensitive to the effects of wildfire smoke than the AQI would suggest.
Breathing in that shit is nasty. If you have the means and live in a zone with this problem - a decent air purifier is like mana from heaven.

They’re just carbon particles. They’re innocuous, okay? They’re innocuous. There’s nothing in them. They have no effect.
Please do a John Selwyn Gummer and hook yourself (yes yourself, not your kids) up to a breathing mask pushing carbon particles into your lungs for a few days and then come back and tell us some more.

He’s been trying to find that point for quite some time.

Well if we couldn’t jail them for misinformation about the COVID-19 virus, I doubt we’ll be able to jail them for lying about the deleterious effects of particulate matter.
Anyway, who are you going to believe? Just a bunch of scientists whose peer reviewed “junk” studies have been published by the National Institute of Health, or a mouthpiece paid by oil companies to say bad things about studies proving the harmful effects of diesel engine particulate matter?
And I could go on, but there’s really no point.

Coal is mostly carbon, right? So how about sticking a bunch of coal dust in a brown paper bag and let him breathe that in for a while. What’s the worst that could happen?

Bullets are mostly carbon, right? Depending how you measure them. And in the overall scheme of the impossible span of the universe, they’re just fine particulate matter. Shooting Steven Milloy repeatedly with bullets and explosive shells is harmless.

I can’t process this. What the fuck does this bozo gain from spouting this rubbish? Especially considering that his Faux News audience has a large proportion of high-risk people with conditions like COPD and lung cancer? Do his corporate masters benefit from helping to kill off their fan base? Perhaps they want to clear out the elderly Nazis so young, healthy (for now) Nazis can take their place.
The only explanation I can think of is that Milloy has no concept of his suckers as human beings. It’s all a sick joke. He gets his jollies from seeing how much bullshit the rubes will swallow. Do you suppose he’d say silicosis and black lung disease are also imaginary?
This makes me so angry I’m even less coherent than usual.
