Yes.



How do you know for sure that air pollution causes obesity? Dr. Perera stated that there is a correlation between air pollutants and childhood obesity. She tracked 720 mother-child pairs. Then she said "there is a tendency for some children to become more obese." It doesn't sound very definite to say "there is a tendency". Nothing was said about the study having a control group for comparison purposes.

How do you know for sure about half the things you read that fit your opinion? Most of what you post can't be proven either.


If you want to maintain a civil discussion, I think it's counterproductive to keep using the word preaching. It's offensive. Suppose I took the opposite point of view that you are preaching about the evils of air pollution?
I don't agree. I'm calling it as what I see it.
