    Worldwide, air pollution from burning fossil fuels is responsible for about 1 in 5 deaths—roughly the population of New York City.

    Well that doesn’t make any fucking sense no matter how you look at it. NYC doesn’t have 1/5 of the world population?

      Yes, however it is not 1/5 of the world population dying. If the report is true then from all the deaths in world, 1/5 would be equal to the population of NYC, and this amount of people are dying due to pollution
