My comment now has nothing to do with environmental issues, but I couldn't
resist to question:

"If that is so, why abortion groups, euthanasia folks and "reproductive
health"preachers early yell over the number of women deaths, unwanted
pregnaties, etc, etc. Thus number interests in thies matter?? - Why not on
environmental issues??

Just a question... , I personally never see Truth on statistical ground..

best wishes

Jorge
