Gold Member BOHICA Posted April 2, 2019 Gold Member Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Just farming corn in the US cause $39 billion in health related expenses from pollution and over 4000 premature deaths https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2019/04/01/708818581/growing-corn-is-a-major-contributor-to-air-pollution-study-finds Hill estimates that air quality-related health damages cost $39 billion annually. The top five corn-producing states — Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, Minnesota and Indiana — bore 54 percent of the deaths associated with air pollution caused by corn production.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted April 2, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Models. When's the last climate model that was correct. The researchers fed the model with publicly available data on corn yields and manure and synthetic fertilizer usage from corn-producing counties in the U.S., giving them an estimate of the total emissions caused by corn production.
