    well they are finding forever-chemical and micro-plastics in all freshwater in the USA now and even in ALL mother's milk

    so safe bet that cancer rates are never going to be lower than they are today

    remember US also just deregulated all pollution from power plants, funded re-starting coal plants and dropped car engine efficiency requirements

    oh they are also trying to double oil-fracking output which toxifies groundwater and air for miles around it with offgassing

    every rocket launch and deorbit by starlink et all also put toxic pollution into the atmosphere

    so next decade should end well for cancer rates

      You can't be worried about fracking and coal at the same time in the US. The former is the reason for the latter's demise

        Why shouldn’t one be able to worry about 2 bad things at the same time?
