Air Scare Debunked: Still no deaths reported from Chinese air pollution
The enviros claim 1,000 deaths per day. Show us a body!!–more–>
From the U.S. China Institute:
ON AN AVERAGE DAY IN CHINA outdoor air pollution causes the premature death of roughly 1,000 people.

In 1997, the World Bank estimated 50,000 Chinese died prematurely each year due to air pollution.
But there are still no reports of deaths from air pollution in China since Steve Milloy wrote this op-ed in January.
