Abstract<\/h3>\n
Near-total adherence to false scientific theories is the striking parallel between 19th<\/sup> century miasma theory associated with cholera, dispelled by Dr. John Snow, and 21st<\/sup> century \u201cmiasmas\u201d, namely, the anthropogenic-carbon-dioxide-cause of global warming theory, and its presumed \u201ccure\u201d by geoengineering, undisclosed jet-spraying particulate pollution into the troposphere. An image published in the New York Times in 2017 began a series of discoveries that pointed to particulate pollution, not carbon dioxide, as the principal cause of global warming. Both industrial and deliberate jet-sprayed particulate pollution heat the atmosphere and thus reduces atmospheric convection-efficiency, which retards heat loss from earth\u2019s surface and causes global warming, concomitantly wreaking havoc on human and environmental health. Today\u2019s \u201cbad air,\u201d rather than spreading contagion, is causing a pandemic of non-communicable diseases (NCD\u2019s) and decimating our natural environment. Covert tropospheric aerosol geoengineering, especially utilizing coal fly ash, is a primary catalyst for both of these modern disasters, and it must be recognized and halted. Air pollution is the leading environmental cause of disease and death in the world. Combustion products of fossil fuels are major contributors to both global warming and air pollution. The causes of air pollution and associated runaway global warming are modifiable in a short time-frame by reducing industrial and geo-engineering particulate pollution. However, corrective actions hinge on a scientific paradigm-shift and international cooperation at all levels of authority. The modern \u201cmiasmas\u201d of complacency encompassing the universal dangers of air pollution and the deadly code of silence on the subject of undisclosed geo-engineering must be dispelled if we are to have a \u201cfighting chance\u201d to confront these global public health emergencies. Despite Snow\u2019s ground-breaking work, the stubborn belief in \u201cmiasma\u201d as the cause of infectious disease persisted well beyond his death into the 20th<\/sup> Century; our time is much too short now to delay changing course.<\/p>\n Keywords: <\/span>Aerosols, coal fly ash, geoengineering, particulate pollution, pandemic, global warming, precautionary principle<\/p>\n
