I don't get this, we are all going to die once and so there can't be any additional deaths - so they could argue premature deaths but that can only ever be a guess and flies in the face of increasing life-expectancy, even in the most grossly smog polluted countries of China and India where incidentally the life expectancy is broadly increasing at the same rate as the cleanest places such as Iceland and Siberia.
